Scenario: You own a one word dot com with 39 trademarks for a partial or exact match ot this word. After doing extensive research you find the term is important in the adult field, engineering, modeling, and more.
You decide to sell your domain. The parties that would benefit most use this word as part of their name and for some it is their name exactly. Some have TM's and some don't appear to. If you approach a TM owner with a domain that might reflect their company you stand to be sued and forfiet your generic name.
What happens if you promote it to all parties? First to sue and spends the most legally wins? Or is it a matter of quality generics?
This is just a hypethetical question about a a hypethetical domain
in a multi-faceted business world...............................
All input would be appreciated..............................
