Legal often owns the brief
IT rarely runs the buy. Counsel knows compliance—not domain-circle outreach, slang, or bargaining tempo.
Buy · Enterprise buyback
Domain older than the mark? Then you negotiate
Many buybacks start with a founder mandate and land on legal. When UDRP won’t carry, we handle outreach, anonymous bargaining, and escrow—email only.
Submit a buy briefFirst split: legal or commercial?
Names worth reclaiming often predate the trademark. Without bad-faith proof, arbitration odds are thin—and aggressive filing can invite reverse-hijacking claims. What’s left is commercial negotiation.
Legal leverage often fails
Domain first, mark later means the registrant couldn’t “knowingly” abuse the brand. No bad faith, weak UDRP case.
Asymmetry decides the price
Whoever outs the buyer—or lacks comps—pays more. That’s exactly where brokerage pays for itself.
Three seller types, three playbooks
Most market inventory fits one of three shapes. Read the shape before you break ice, stay invisible, or judge a BIN.
01
Dormant
No site, no listing, contacts missing or silent. When you can’t even start a conversation, network reach comes first—find the holder and test willingness to sell.
Core skill: outreach & ice-break
02
Make-offer
No ask—or only an inquiry channel—with a hidden floor or open bargaining. Highest risk of fishing markups and brand identification.
Core skill: stealth probes + price judgment
03
Buy-it-now
Clear platform pricing and short decision chains—but BIN ≠ floor. Sellers pad room; if they sense “must-have,” the sticker itself may already be rich.
Core skill: appraisal & whether to take it
After you engage us—when should news arrive?
Legal asks about status first. Rule of thumb: willing owners usually reply within 5–7 days. Silence doesn’t mean “the broker did nothing.”
5–7 days
Normal reply window. A response unlocks floor testing, budget alignment, and the next move.
How to read silence
Two common causes: offer far below psychology, so they ignore it; or the note never reached the real decision-maker (including locked proxy holds).
~3-month stop-loss
If follow-ups still show no substance, decide whether to keep spending—or activate alternates. Buybacks serve the business, not endless waiting.
How we run a stealth acquisition
01
Read the seller type
Dormant, make-offer, or BIN—each needs a different first move so you don’t reveal intent or open too low.
02
Probe in stealth—and read silence
We reach owners without naming you. After 5–7 days of silence, we sort lowball vs. never reached the decision-maker vs. locked proxy holds.
03
Close and settle safely
Set a ceiling and a stop-loss rhythm, then fund and transfer through reputable escrow rails—we never hold your money.
Tell us the target name
Domain, budget band, timing, anonymity needs, and which came first—mark or domain. Clearer briefs mean sharper first moves. Email only.
