Google's "Information retrieval based on historical data" patent is about as close to authoritative (i.e. not anecdotal) data as you can get: [0101] Also, or alternatively, the age, or other information, regarding a name server associated with a domain may be used to predict the legitimacy of the domain. A "good" name server may have a mix of ...

Most domain registries require whois information to be publicly available, at least where the domain name is used commercially. The exact rules will depend on the TLD of the domain, and possibly who it was registered with. Another option is to use on of the "private registration" services that will set themselves up as the owner/contact in whois, and will ...

I would agree with all the above. But depending on the case it might not be necessary to make it so complicated. We had to buy a domain where the owner was in a different country, so the main issue was how to make sure that we get the domain after we paid for it (and the other way round). So we used http://www.sedo.com The seller can park the domain and we ...

I have been around when this happened, but basically it went down like this A bill of sale was written up. These guys were not local to each other, so it was really an receipt of an online credit card transaction The old owner allowed the new owner to transfer the domain name to their own registrar. Pretty simple. If the old owner didn't comply with ...

I've been through this before working on behalf of a client who was unhappy with a previous web firm who was witholding access. In hostile situations like that...and even non-hostile...a call to the registrar usually can clean things up pretty quickly. In our case, they asked for proof that our client was who they said they were via faxes of some ...

SoreThumb, it really depends on what you are trying to do. Its very common for people to think their idea is patentable, when it really isn't. Also, think about it.. if you patent it, and put it on the web, anybody from another country can choose to copy it.. (unless you restrict access.. but there' still some vulnerability). Will you have the resources ...

You definitely will want to get a IP lawyer involved. When I looked into this process a couple years ago, the initial cost for a patent search was $5,000-$10,000. The entire patent application process was going to be at least $15,000. You will also have to document the entire application inside and out for your lawyer. I also learned that as soon as you ...

I changed registrars 3 times for some domains (I even changed form US registrars to Italian registars) and none of the undergoing websites got affected at all regarding Google ranking and/or PR. But watch out, I did not change WHOIS DATA for these domains. Changing whois data might be a different story, sometimes I ownder if Google looks into them for ...

If there is value in the domain name being transferred, you should really consider consulting a lawyer with experience in these matters. It's important to ensure that there is a legal agreement between the two parties outlining the terms of the transaction, making warranties about the lack of other claims to the domain, legal encumbrances, claimed ...

Yes, it is possible to hide your information on Whois. Just get the private registration from your domain registrar. Through this you can hide your personal information. After that check details at WhoisXY.com to know whether your registration is private or not. If private registration means your information will be hide on this tool.

It is pretty easy to make up an address. I have personally left the wrong address in my personal domains and just kept one public email address correct. I get a threatening letter that I must make it accurate, but how would they know, and I can say they really don't care. It cut down on my junk snail mail for business services.
