It is right to expose and oppose false regisrations during sunrise period.  But, if we invite TM/SM holders of generic words or names to challenge such registrations, we are indirectly accepting that TM/SM holders have prior claims over all names whether generic or made up.  I think this would be contrary to what we have been advocating.
