Hi, I'm a new domainer and I made a mistake.
I registered a one-word generic domain that I honestly didn't think was a trademark. Unfortunately, it turns out that it is one. I didn't check the trademark database before registering (I know, stupid), and I don't want to get into any trouble. I don't think the company has noticed yet. I haven't made any money off of the domain (it's not parked or developed).
What should I do in this situation? Should I contact an attorney? Should I drop the domain? Selling it would make me look bad. If I can't sell it and I can't keep it, how do I get rid of it?
Thanks so much for your help!
