Brand grabbing
The Markengrabbing is reserving brands without their own use intent by the owner of the same business name or brand, a ransom demand for the release or transfer.
Among other things, brand grabbers try to protect the domain names they have reserved from the obligation to surrender them by means of a brand reservation so that they can only be sold at a profit. A boom arose before the eu domains were awarded in 2005.
