Why is ICANN and friends WIPO pretending they do not know the SIMPLE ANSWER to the
trademark problem?Sunrise etc is all a load of bull - they should not have to
buy trademark name in every TLD brought out in the future (new trademark tax?).
This
is not possible anyway - thousands may share their name.
Businesses want a short
and pretty domain name.
Therefore, as example, Apple Computers could use Apple.com
for advertising and marketing purposes - This is legal usage.
However, for *TRADEMARK
USE* it *HAS* to be unique, short is therefore just *NOT* - repeat *NOT* possible.
Apple Computers are abusing its trademark for a dominant position - due to ICANN
deliberate mismanagement.
Apple Computers therefore needs another domain name for
trademark use.
This should be *OBVIOUS*
Trademarks have to be identified with
"®", so they could make domains consistent with existing law using Dot REG as identifier.
A
trademark *NAME* is for a specific *CLASS* in a specific *COUNTRY*.
A domain name
in the format - name.class.country.reg would be a unique identifier - no trademark
conflict.
Example for Apple Computers in United States would be - apple.tech.us.reg
They
take people’s domain names in UDRP because of feeble trademark excuses.
These domains
are not trademarks - it is a LIE.
So, you choose - is ICANN acting in Bad Faith
or Imbecility?
