AdMedia.com: Another Play on Ad.com?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

The Ad.com saga gets more interesting.

Sedo has completed the sale of AdMedia.com for $50,000. This is a curious sale because of what is now up at AdMedia.com:

AdMedia.com

Zoom in on a couple key elements, including the logo and copyright notice:

admedia2

admedia3

It sure looks like whomever has created this basic web site at AdMedia.com is trying to make a play on Ad.com, the disputed trademark that has caused some million dollar heartache.

There’s very little information about AdMedia.com on the web site; only a few contact forms. Its whois is privacy protected. It will be interesting to watch this one.

In other Sedo sales this past week, the auction for Rent.co.uk has closed and the deal completed. The final sale price was the opening bid of 65,000 GBP, or just a hair over $100,000 USD at today’s exchange rates.

    Could it be the new owner of Ad.com looking to establish a legitimate claim to the Ad.com trademark that is in question? If so, then I don’t see a problem.

    Wow, Science.org was a steal @ $20,000.

    Mark – there isn’t a ‘new’ owner of the domain.
