Hi All,
Scenario:
Company wants to take away a 20 year old domain name (bought at expired auction) that they say infringed because it was parked for 1 day, and apparently served related ads during that day. It was then moved to a landing page stating that it was for sale via an offer. They send demand letter and give 7 days to hand it over or else, after making lowball offer that was rejected.
If the registrant decides to sell it to another person during that 7 days, does that domain name then get "washed"? Would selling it to someone else give the name a new lease on life without a parking mark against it? The name would not be immediately recognizable to probably 9/10 people by the way. I'm curious about the "chain" of responsibility in a situation like this.
Thanks
