MicroStrategy owns some very valuable domain names. One company is jealous of Glory.com.
Glory Ltd is a fairly generic company name, so I don’t know with certainty which company filed it. But when you search google for the name, a publicly traded automated vending machine company in Japan pops up. It uses the domain name Glory.co.jp.
MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) is a $1.5 billion market cap technology company that owns a vast portfolio of great .com domain names. This has sometimes drawn the ire of companies wanting to get their hands on these domains. Back in 2011, email marketing company Emma filed a lawsuit to try to get the Emma.com domain name. The marketing company uses the domain MyEmma.com. MicroStrategy had owned Emma.com since the 90s, so you won’t be surprised to learn that it still owns the domain despite the lawsuit and Emma still uses MyEmma.com.
A DomainTools reverse Whois lookup reveals that Microstrategy owns these valuable domain names:
alert.com
arthur.com
courage.com
frank.com
hope.com
michael.com
mike.com
speaker.com
strategy.com
usher.com
voice.com
william.com
wisdom.com
I always thought when it comes to having a general domain name like in this case glory.com you did not have to worry about being sued. I guess some companies will still try to see if they can snag them up,
Then again in the case of apple they made a brand and trademarked it when it comes to computers even though the word apple simply is the fruit.
Thanks for sharing!
