It is about the injustice of losing your greatest opportunity to profit from your
own idea, to register this word(s).It is about the injustice of authorities giving
fraudsters, both in and out the industry, priority to jump the queue.
Afilias even
jump the queue ahead of trademarks for SEARCH - ABOUT - ADDRESS - DIRECTORY - ETC.
ETC.
It is about the injustice of authorities abusing their powers - to abridge
the right of common people to common words.
In the real world trademarks have symbol
after them - why not on the Internet?
Trademarks 'raison d'ętre' is to identify
source of goods or services - not claim world rights to a word.
This is why I truly
believe the authorities (US DOC, UN WIPO and ICANN) are corrupt.
