A:
Your desire to sell these domain names to ServiceNow requires careful consideration due to potential trademark issues.
These domain names could be viewed as "cybersquatting" since they incorporate ServiceNow's trademark. The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) prohibits registering domain names that use others' trademarks with the intent to profit from them. ServiceNow might view these domains as trademark infringement rather than valuable assets, which could lead to legal challenges rather than purchase offers.
Before reaching out to ServiceNow, you should understand that they may respond with legal demands to transfer the domains without compensation, especially if they believe the domains were registered in bad faith. Your best approach would be to consult with an intellectual property attorney who can review your specific situation, assess potential risks, and guide you on how to proceed with any negotiations or domain transfers while protecting your interests.
