Sounds like I should have become a lawyer. Between this person, the paper snowflakes idiot, and lots of others idiots, there are a non-trivial number of people willing to throw money at lawyers instead of making sensible decisions for their business and associated domain names.

It seems that the “address” of N2touch.com is not the only problem here. The fact that this address is used for on-line searching does not take away from the fact the business is still there. Maybe in written form in the newspapers, flyers, business cards, etc….. The “Trademarked” name should have been researched by the re-seller before they re-sold it. Maybe then they could have re-sold it to the original owner for the same amount they sold it to the second owner. If I trademarked my business name, I would hope that name would be protected. They should not have put the second owner in that predicament. I wonder if other Domain sellers sell Trademarked names….., address available or not?

@Sumit – Name names bro. We need to know who to avoid, and who is a loser.

This lady obviously let her domain expire, then remembered an important fact that thousands of companies and individuals seem to forget:

“YOUR DOMAIN NAME/S ARE YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE”

Lame, but scary that after a decade of domain promotion, incredible domain sale prices, people STILL don’t get it about the value of a domain name. I hope that the education of the public about domains is exponential in the coming months/years.
