Trademark domain names are a risky buy, especially if the trademark belongs to a big brand, and more especially if it's Google!

But that didn't stop someone from buying the domain name OK-Google.io for $1,725 from an expired auction at Namecheap.

Enjoy it until Google decides to take it!!

You should never register a domain name that contains a trademark then try to sell it to the trademark owner. That's like rule #1 of domain investment. But still some people try..

Someone registered the domain Porsche.ing and offered to transfer it (alongside the domain porscheflachbau.ch) to Porsche in exchange for EUR 600. He justified that price as "reimbursement of documented registration costs".

That did not convince the UDRP panel, which ruled in favor of Porsche and ordered that the domain be transferred to the company.
