We have written over the years about brands, brand protection companies and dropping domain names which both brands and brand protection companies continue to miss.
Not only do they miss grabbing them but they don’t even seem to try.
Its pretty interesting sitting on the sidelines every week seeing companies spending $1,500 a pop to file a UDRP on a single domain name (plus attorneys fees) on the same type of domain names that are dropping and can be picked up for $69 on a back order or sometimes even $10 on a registration.
As always these are not even typo’s but pretty bang on domain names.

KodakTheater.com home to the Academy Awards is parked at Sedo and listed for sale with Make Offer.

I can pop in a prefilled cup and get a cup of hot coffee in just a few seconds so the domain name Keurigcups.com would be a perfect fit for the company, unfortunately the domain name just dropped and Keurig missed out on getting the domain name for less than the cost of a sample box of one of its coffee’s.
The Associated Press, one of the leading new organizations in the World let the domain name AssociatedPressNews.com drop just to be picked up by a third party. The domain name is parked at ParkingCrew.com
One of the highest rated appliance manufactures in the world is Viking and they missed out on the domain name VikingCooktops.com which dropped and was picked up by HugeDomains.com and is now available for sale for only $1,295 much less than the cost of one of their cooktops.…
