That only part of the issue. It raises a chilling issue. The other issue is the pre-emptive registrations based on TMCH entries. Sent from my iPad

Thanks Paul. I don't assume everyone is a bad actor. I'm too much of an optimist for that. And I don't think it's just cyber squatting (premium pricing...?). And I still come down to a balance of what we are trying to achieve, babies and their bath water included. If you want to know what TMs are registered - check a TM Registry. If you believe the Claims Notice doesn't apply to what you are intending to do with your DN, don't be worried. M

Marie,
The first step is to understand that others may have a different idea of "a clean space", "commercial growth" and "common good". You don't of course have to agree with their versions of these concepts but you need to understand that yours (and mine) is not the only understanding of these concepts.
If is dangerous to presume that those taking a contrary view are (a) against trademark interests or (b) promoting cybersquatting. There are many other principles at stake here.
