Discussion:
What is the name of your state? FL
I bought the name about 6 months ago. (I will leave the name blank in hopes to prevent losing it - but it deals with the player below and a likely name Nike might use for his merchandise.
Nike recently signed Lebron James to a $95,000,000 contract.
I realize that some legal cases have forced people to give up names they own. I believe Sony was one, while the guy who own Nissan.com has kept it.
The name I bought is not trademarked by Nike or anyone else.
How should I go about protecting it? Do I need to trademark it or is owning the site name before anyone trademarks it sufficient?
Further any recommendations on how to go about selling it to Nike?
Thanks!
Sean
