DNF$: 6,593 Location: Washington,DC  | Easy I remember reading somewhere about a particular company that goes after people who register any domain that contains "easy" and "EZ". Can a company own the exclusive use of the trademark words "EASY" and "EZ" ? |

Country:     | I wouldn't think so. Those are just too generic and broad of examples (easy and EZ). They would have to go after EZ-Lock bags, all of Easy-E's posthumous royalties, etc. I believe they can trademark specific phrase or product containing the words Easy or EZ but not all of them. I used to own easypromotions.com and never heard anything from them.....

Country:   | They can send you a C&D for Ginger.com even if the company is Sears.. I believe you can "go after" any name you want.. Is this not true? |
