Are LLL.com Domains At High Risk For Cybersquatting Threat Letters and UDRP Arbitrations?

Logistik Labs>> Domain Tips, Tools, News and Information

Good thread going on over at the NamePros domain forum regarding one senior domainer's opinion that purchases of LLL.coms are growing inherently risky due to the possibility that the LLL domain can easily be taken away by UDRP. Read it here.

The thread suggests that registrants avoid ad-link programs on tho LLL.com domains in order to defeat the bad faith element necessary to show cybersquatting under the UDRP.  Of course, developing a domain in a non-infringing manor or leaving them parked with no content at all can be helpful when fending off threat letters from trademark holders and UDRP arbitrations.

[3 & 4 letter domains]

Actually, I think 3-4 letter domains are easier to protect. It is harder to come up with a strong trademark in so few letters. Plus, abbreviations as domain names are usually fair game. Of course, you can't target someone else's name or web site when you register. That is typically cyber-squatting which is based on intentions. if you have a legitimate non-infringing use, you should be all set.
