Former Agent Lets MannyRamirez.COM Expire

According to this story on DomainNameWire.com, Manny Ramirez is going to UDRP aribitration to try to get back the expired domain MannyRamirez.com.

The backround appears to be that Manny switched agents a few years ago, but the intellectual property didn't go with him, and expired. The domain was then registered by a third party.

UDRP is an expensive way to try to get a domain back, and it doesn't always work. When are agents and players going to start taking their intangible assets seriously?

Avantla.COM provides tools and services to help avoid precisely this type of situation. Athletes and agents can have detailed tracking of all intellectual property including domains, social media accounts, websites, blogs, etc.
