| There are numerous cases of people winning their names. But the burden of proof can shift to the claimant (plaintiff) to show why the respondent (defender) has no rights to the name.
To say I am going to be famous one day is not much of a claim against the defender.
As for an industry sector, I work in and develop for a very niche market. Again, its a public space we are talking about, even though it is a specialized industry.
How many times have I or you seen a newly regged name and say, Dammit. Why didn't I think of that first!
Unless there is something damaging, damning, or inflamatory towards the person, I am not sure why there is cause for concern.
You can email me (at) Gerry dot mobi. The point I am trying to make is how many people named Gerry would have a claim? Or Donna. Skippy, Vickie, and so on.
Welcome to the world of domaining.
