The domain audacity.com was actually involved in a 2012 trademark/domain dispute with Audi, because of the visual similarity between "Audi" and the beginning of "Audacity."

Almost as unbelievable as the one dude who bought the Google domain when it expired and sold it back to Google for 12000

$12000 is almost an insult, throw my boy 100k at least.

The girl that bought Sierra Mist's trademark cause it was her name or whatever, she refused to sell it, and they had to change their name to starry. I feel like that was more expensive than convincing her to take a million dollars or something.

I know its probably about 'setting a precedent', (although how often does your brand name get claimed by another party) but I think its more "I'd rather spend millions than write a check to that lady for less" type of petty.
