Thread: Honda.in Sold on Sedo

Very surprising sale indeed. Honda.in on Sedo Auction for $545

If it wasn't purchased by Honda themselves, its very surprising to a blatant TM violation sold so openly.

If it was purchased by Honda its also a surprising move, because a) they would have had a rock sold legal case and b) they're publicly announcing to other domain-squatters that there's money to be made from squatting Honda.

What do you reckon?

UDRPs cost $1,995
Honda.in cost $545

Savings: $1450

Just maybe... ?

Maybe. But I you would have thought Honda sent a letter to the owner first and detailing their Trademark of the name surely?

German Address is the current owner so its quite likely I think.

And if it isn't Honda, they've noticed now and they may make someone's day a very grey one!

This is even a live site: Honda Accord India, Honda Crv India, Honda Civic Car India, Honda City Car India: Honda Siel Cars India
