Thread: Windows7.co.in

Namebio has this listed as sold for $10,200 on July 25.

Wow!

Isnt that a TM?

Unfortunately, it infringes on Microsoft's mark. I think Microsoft would easily win this domain in an INDRP dispute.

IMHO, these type of sales do not do domainers any favours. It just adds to the already-existing impression that "domainers are cybersquatters."

"Sunrise Name Pending Evaluation" ? - the sunrise period expired years ago, so I'm a bit confused here.

Well, as long as Microsoft isn't going after the name(which they have a right to), then it will remain just what it is- just a TM infringement. Other than that, Great sale for .co.in.

Your absolutely right. This is a clear TM infringement.

It surely is!

Update: The Whois for Windows7.co.in now shows it is owned by Microsoft.

I wonder if Microsoft actually bought the domain, or did it request the domain be transferred to them due to TM infringement?

I would be very interested to find out if they paid anything, or if the last buyer lost his investment
