    Surely if you register it before any trademarks are made its ok?

    I might email them about it just to see what will happen. At the end of the day ive only wasted like £4 and it could be intresting. Is there anywhere you can check if they have trademarked it?

    Sell on Sedo.com they take 50$ off you when you sell but you usually get a lot more.

    Need a domain but dont have paypal... not to worry. You can purchase a domain via text or home phone at XeoDomains.mobi.

    Hmmm thanks. Im sure they wouldnt trademark it before their conference otherwise its like unveiling it and Blob is right if I bought it before they cant take it off of me. Its like Nintendo has to buy the domain Wii.com off of someone who owned it before Wii was trademarked.

    No, it's still trademarked to them.

    Sony would take you to court over it. They take everything too far and stretch the limits right out to prove their point.

    Ah well, ill have some fun with it in the meantime.

    Im 95% sure if the domain was registered first they cant do jack **** either because Nintendo has to buy wii.com off this bloke because he registered it before the wii was trademarked.

    One example I just remembered is a guy who bought a Metroid Prime related domain shortly after watching last years [or the year befores] E3 and he got a hefty sum of cash from Nintendo

    Try and sell it by all means, dry DigitalPoint or SitePoint - they cost but it might be worth it - just enquire on DP about it about the legalities because we don't know for sure.

    That was me lol, it wasnt from Nintendo it was from someone setting up a fansite. Nintendo use subdomains

    So you'll be fine

    Don't email them, wait for them to approach you!

    They have trademarked it as: Resistance: Retribution™

    So your fine in my opinion
