If I am the WHOIS contact for a doman, am I the owner of the name?

My registrar says the domain expired in January and wants to charge me $200 to reclaim it. But WHOIS lists me in all three places, and says that domain is registered until January 2008.

Can anyone still grab my won expired auction domain other than the owner?

i won a domain today from an expired auction domain that’s been expired since 6/18/10, only 4 more days to go until it’s mine.. could my name still get snap from a wholeseller like namesnap or network solution, etc. or from a backorder? That is, other than the owner for now.

What happens if someone buys a domain and then someone else trademarks it,Could they then go after the owner?

So like if i got a domain name thats not a trademark and someone else likes the name,So they trademark it because it was never a trademark. Could they sue or go after me for anything?

How do I go about Buying a domain name from the current owner wihout getting cheated?

I’m talking to a guy through email about possibly being able to buy a domain name that I wanted, but he owns. Is there a specific process to buying a domain name from the current owner?

Whats to stop him from getting the money from me and then just keeping the domain name?

Is there a standard (or semi-standard) way to decide on a price based on traffic and stuff like that. The website is currently parked on Godaddy.com and has no content, and has been since Nov 06 when it was purchased according to the WhoIs record.

Any help would be great. thanks.

Hi, I just recived a mail from the trademark owner from my domain name.He is offering me some $500 for the domain name. I did not use the website for commercial interest, parked free. Does the company has the rights to obtain the domain name via USRP?

Bad News for Cheech and Chong Fans from former owner of cheechandchong.com


Cheech and Chong recently won cheechandchong.com from Ryan Tracy. Ryan Tracy owned and operated the site, with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong’s blessing, since 1998. Only after reuniting, did they pursue getting the domain. Rather than working out a deal, they bullied him. Ultimately, they opened a domain dispute with UDRP and won, leaving it’s former owner high and dry.
