As we go through Drop lists of domain name in an attempt to acquire some of them, we typically see a good number of what appear to be trademark infringing domain names.
As usual we do not point out typo’s but mostly domain names that seem to be right in the wheel house of a trademark holders.
Trademark holders have been complaining (and rightly so) about the cost of defensive registrations when it comes to new gTLD’s but these domains are all .com and many have traffic.
All of these domains were owned by someone other than the trademark holder and dropped and could have been picked up by the trademark holder if they pursed the domain in the drop.
Instead of the trademark holder registering these domains when they dropped, third parties, picked up the domain names in the drop and almost all of them are going to a parked page:

Invisaligndentist.com dropped the other day. I backordered it b/c I am a dentist that offers that service. I was actually outbid for $74. I am pretty sure the new owner isn’t an “invisalign dentist”. Too many crazy newbies out there now.
cmac says
wouldn’t it be worth more than $74 to someone who does that for a living?
Tony Lam says
No. I am an end user…
KDomainNames says
I’d be careful buying these domain names… You don’t know why they dropped and perhaps they carry penalties with them??
Or it could be they found nicer ones with the new extensions that are coming out..
DomainOtto says
I think the Q would be why Forbes top 200 enterprises do not have people that actually make sure they control their web interests before the new gTlds reach GA. sammons.enterprises parked. jmfamily.enterprises parked. I think they should have the money to secure their own domains before GA.
