I think it is time to encourage
all developed nations to provide online trademark checks in their native language
and also one for the internet community in the chosen international language of commerce
- English.Future sunrise applicants should only be able to SUBMIT trademarks that
can be viewed on public domain.
To assume that Bora Bora island trademarks carry
the same stringent approval validity and standards for international commerce as
that of say USPTO is fundamentally flawed and totally lacking in responsibility to
honest applicants.
Look at what happened in the YESNIC case. I agree with antipathy
that many registrars were hoping they could somehow get away with misrepresentation
being part of the insider crowd. They were CAUGHT OUT by the internet public, and
now the CREDIBILITY of Afilias has been tarnished by thoughts of insider trading
and corruption at its highest.
Is this what the internet community deserves???
