From another of my postings:

What are the United States Patent and Trademark Office doing to help
resolve problems of trademarks on the Internet.

NOTHING - ZILCH - NOWT.

They should have told ICANN at least three things:

1 The domain name must include classification (or sub class), as it is likely to cause consumer confusion if not.

2 The domain name must include country, as it is likely to cause consumer confusion if not.

3 That for just ONE company to be known by that ONE name worldwide would be unfair to ALL the other holders of that name.

I sent a fax to the USPTO over a week since, asking about those facts. Still waiting for answer. To answer your question, something smells fishy. ICANNs history (before, during and after formation), is suspect. There are more expert people than I, on this subject - read cook report and roving reporter links near bottom of my protest site.
