Much of their efforts are spent in determining the true ownership of typosquatted domains, this would cut to the chase.

I do not have a real clue how many domains a typical multi-million dollar company owns, but my understanding is that anyone with a trade-mark to preserve tends to have VERY large portfolio of defensive registrations. And there is no point if irritating constituencies who might otherwise be strong supporters of the type of effort we are discussing. Alan At 15/09/2009 10:24 AM, Garth Bruen at KnujOn wrote:
Consider this. How many domains does a multi-million dollar company buy? 1 maybe 2. Maybe one for each gTLD and ccTLD, that's still less than 300.
