We reg'd a domain years ago - and then got contacted by the lawyers for a big west coast production company attorneys claiming trademark infringement because of the use of a common word in the domain. Claimed we were "riding the coattails of their success", despite the fact the website was entirely bondage/fetish content and had absolutely nothing to do with their production or corporate image.
We laughed all the way to our lawyer's office in Toronto. We offered the domain up for sale - and our attorney sold it for 10x its annual revenue earnings.
Can't reveal the name of the company or the domain due to a non-disclosure agreement we signed during the sale.
Sweetest chunk of change we ever made.
