Re: [bc-gnso] New US trademark rules likely to exclude many dot-brand gTLDs | DomainIncite - Domain Name News & Opinion

[Phil Corwin <psc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very welcome Andy. I'm on vacation this week so haven't fully vetted the rules 
but seem reasonable at first glance.
I never thought that frontrunning a TLD that had yet to exist would provide any 
advantage in a LRO.

Thanks for sending, Phil.  I think these rules are very reasonable - it's just 
unfortunate that the prohibitions on front-running and registering generic 
terms were not incorporated into the LRO guidelines earlier.  It would have 
saved everyone a lot of time and money.

Andy
