So here is a domain I own ( Bought few months back from GoDaddy AUCTION),
let's say it CompanyAv.com. (Both "company" and "AV" are keywords for reference purpose) First registered in 2000 and I'm only the second owner (from JAN'21).
Just last week I reached to a company that operates in domain 'Company.co', started in 2017, a well-funded billion-dollar AV- lets say Antivirus company, for selling the domain along with few other leads.
Today itself a company lawyer approached me saying that I have no right to own this domain since his client operates that business and my intent is bad. and they are proceeding with further steps.
"Company" is a very generic keyword also the term "AV" ( Anti Virus, Audio Visual, Automated vehical etc.. ) means a lot many things. A company that used to own that name was in -- let's say: audiovisual business,
Now my intent: obviously to earn profit from the name, but are they going to prove it ??
Since I am a legitimate owner of the name I have the right to sell the name at whatever price I want and to whomever, It's not even a trademark name, but the only thing going opposite to me is that I reached to them to sell the name first.
* The name has other leads as well which also operates in "AV" related business.
