Thanks, but the domain seems to have been registered for quite awhile prior to us forming this brand. It is just a lack of due diligence or caring by marketing and management from the get go.

Ah, yeah. Well it was worth a shot.

Sharing the domain name in a public forum is a terrible idea...
Agreed, just search engines seeing it discussed, even if no human sees it, will easily drive up costs and improve the seller's selling position.

Only works in the case of bad faith. In his case, if the domain was pre-registered and in use (not just squatted) and the marketing people are trying to use that existing trademark, their attempts might be the ones in bad faith because they have a responsibility to see if that trademark is in use already, and trademarks like copyrights are automatic (but hard to prove.)

Actually bad faith does not preclude squatting. If the squatter purchased before you ever had a any registered branding, there is no case against them. Bad faith kicks in against squatting only if you can prove it affecting your previously registered brand.

I was saying bad faith in the other direction, attempting to start a business under the same name as a domain name that was already in use.

He clearly states it's for a brand, not a company.

Same thing, though. Attempting to start a new brand that is already in use.

Purchased and parked is not in use. It is “available for the right price.”

Is no one reading what I wrote? I specified everything that people have said in my original statement.
