This is another post in a continuing series on how big brands are missing and allowing third parties the opportunity to register domain names that are bang on domain names dealing with well known and trademarked products.
These are not typo’s.
They are domain names of trademark products.
These are just some of the domains we tracked that got registered by someone other than the trademark owner.
Of course the trademark owner could have gotten these domain names on the drop but seem not to be monitoring the dropping domain market.
Many of these domains are parked

I took a peek at the whois information of some of these domain names. None seem to care about privacy, as if it actually matters if they move forward from a simple C&D.
One that stuck out to me was surprising that it hasn’t been taken already, as the corporation actively went after similar names.
Another is that it is parked at a company with a 0-tolerance policy to TM infringing domain names.
With this added exposure, I’m sure that it will be sought after and the account possibly be closed.
