Good idea, however I don’t know of any parking companies that have adopted or enforced such a policy

Possibly this could be done at a parking co level, where all agree to support parking co’s that don’t support obvious typo squatting.

You are correct. Internet Commerce Assocation requires all members to abide by the Members’ Code of Conduct. Furthermore, we are working with leaders of the parking industry to try to stop the monetization of these domains. We do not support cybersquatting!

Michael,
Thank you for taking a public stand on this important issue. This is one important part of separating responsible domain investors and developers from those who participate in abusive registrations.

I’d suspected this was the case; thanks for taking the time to analyze some numbers to show that it’s so.

We are getting too far away from the topic which was again simply if you have a trademark domain that is going to lose a UDRP decision, let the domain go rather than make bad law for the rest of your domain and the rest of us

I do know one domain I consistently mistype siouxfallsymca.com (.org if the actual Y) is a RareName/BuyDomains name. Listed for sale at $588, just guessing the hope here is the buyer pays the fee versus a UDRP case. It is important to note though, and possibly even in this case…TM “guilt” should not always be established so quickly. You can own domains with TMs in them, so long as once developed there is clear separation of who is the owner, usage in non-TM industries, lack of malicious intent, etc. Though we do not advise this strategy, walmartsucks.com is an example (it appears since removed).

It seems undeveloped, you have a better chance of losing potential TM names and developed TM names that lose most were likely capitalizing on one of the primary factors to show infringement.

Robs, I can see why you did not link a site due to backlash, but retracting your comment or sharing more to open collective eyes seems appropriate.

The point and the percentages you list are not of argument at all nor are they they likely disputed by the TM infringers. So then you should draw the conclusion, the TM infringers just don’t care. And will continue not to care.

I am not on a witch hunt. I’m am simply making a point, which is if domainers did not take certain cases whch they have no chance of winning to a hearing, then instead of having a 85% complainant win rate we would have a 50% rate, maybe better, which would certainly help the perception of the industry and improve our chances to defend reserve hijacking attempts and cases in which there is a serious dispute.
