Groupon Makes It Official

Posted July 28, 2010 by Andrew Miller

Very interesting news from Groupon. For those of you who don’t know Groupon, they have emerged as a leading coupon site, the “Gilt Group” of coupons. Well, they didn’t own their domain name until they just paid $250,000 for it (see story below). Its good to see a deal like this get done, a win win for the domain owner and the company, where no one tried to screw the other. Companies big and small should pay heed and ensure they own their generic category dotcom domain name, and brand of course, especially if the brand is generic in nature. See my blog post on Facebook.com a few months ago. Here is the Groupon link. http://www.keepingitrural.com/groupon-trademark-acquire-grouponcom
