Alter.com redirects to nextnavigation.com

There is a whois update on the 13th of August and the emails on the whois show @nextnavigation.com.

Anyone knows what happened?

There's a post about Next Navigation:

Or you can just look up their inventory at Whoxy. A holder of quite a bit of very powerful names.

Oh, interesting... I've used alter as a trademark search tool, found it quite useful and informative, is there any alternative?

I just use WIPO and USPTO (TESS) directly.

I hate bumping my own threads but it'd be great if anyone has any info to share as to whether we should expect the website to come back.

Thanks

I feel @Deven Patel tried to delay this as long as can, the news made on March 2022. Alter seemed up-and-comer.

Next navigation is a horrible name imo.
The name has five syllables.
Rebrand to any one of your priceless domains.

Thanks for that. I knew about a potential sale that was to happen a year ago. I thought the sale didn't get through and that's why we kept seeing the website active until a few days ago.

Just wanted to know if anyone knew for sure what has happened.

Then you know as much as me.
Sale was terminated; buyers not serious or something.

Either way, valid question, which is why i tagged Deven.

Ah! Alter was good. Had a decent sale there. It was a simple site to use. Not much crap & complex stuff. Simple & straight to the point platform.

Maybe @Deven Patel can share some light on this.

btw Deven - you certainly had created a wonderful product. Really disappointed that Alter had to be closed down

I too miss Alter.

It was clean and responsive...too bad new owner has not kept it on its path.

Hope we soon find out more. I liked Alter a lot and was sorry to see it go. Also really liked branding information and trademark search at the site, using it as recently as just over a day ago.
