A major issue seems to be that registrars are able to submit whatever fields they
want to via their own API. For example, even in the post-Sunrise period, some registrars
were still putting in trademark values, even though they didn't need to. If a field
is empty then it doesn't show up via a WHOIS query. The fields definitely still exist
in the database however. I would assume that if a sunrise challenger doesn't have
any of these fields after they have successfully transferred the name, this will
be considered a NULL or Empty value. Therefore Afilias' algorithm (the complexity
of which is yet to be determined) will most likely red flag this value and re-challenge
the name, come the end of the year. The major problem I guess is: how can other
challengers who actually do have that TM, actually determine whether it's worth challenging
this domain name? At the end of the day, it's probably safe to assume that if they
didn't put a value there, then they don't own the TM, but you have to pay your $295
to really find out. Cheers,
Dave
