Subject:	It would be abuse of trademark
Message:
It is probable that the word would NOT have been allowed as a trademark and was only awarded BECAUSE it was a graphic. Trademark lawyers (and Afilias and ICANN and US DoC) KNOW that the mark was awarded as an image and NOT a WORD. Therefore it is an abuse of the mark to claim it as a word. I challenge ANYBODY to deny it. How do you spell the word CORRUPTION?
