I suggested something similar to your US.trademarks.org for seven months - You need
the classification, the same name may be used in different class.
Which is why
it has to be something like: name.class.reg.countryThe .reg is needed as the TM
tag.
*It is not my idea* Like you say not rocket science, which is why the authorities
MUST know this already.
You ask - After all what else are the registrars being
paid for?
I would say - So, like most big business, they can screw you for all
that they can get.
I had a similar idea to a managed heirarchy. This would involve
people choosing two domain names. One short in global or country TLD - the other
with same name in heirachical. Both linked to the same address. For idiots that say
this will double the DNS size - it will not. It just puts an extra field in it. This
could, of course, be used in conjunction with .REG for trademarks.
I don't just
throw these ideas together. They are all derived by logical process.
Agree with
you - Anyone found to be registering in inappropriate categories should have those
entries removed.
The Internet authourities could not manage a piss up in a brewery.
