Common sense suggests to me that if you can trademark a commonly used mark, like
a number or an ordinary word, then the use of a mark is often what defines the boundary
of protection afforded by the trademark. What a mess we will have if ordinary words
and numbers are assigned during a sunrise period. Then, how many different
secondary LDs should you be allowed to register with your trademark? Should
someone with a trademark using the number "6" be allowed to register a secondary
LD with all the different registries? Why shouldn't someone be able to register
and begin to use their secondary LD on line as a demonstration of the mark's use
before they put in the trademark application? More lawsuits and costs to ICANN
and society will evolve from imposing a sunrise period than if we simply allow UDRP
and the courts to handle the situation as they are currently doing. Vote against
the sunrise period.
