| Ok here is a perfect example to illustrate the situation.
You buy the name domain sharpsony.com
Then Sharp and Sony merge and want the domain. They even go so far as to get the privacy registration removed. Sharp is a generic english word and sony is a trademarked brand.
This also leads to a discussion about how quickly they were able to get the private registration removed. So much so that within 1 day of my friend receiving the email notifying him that they would be canceling his private registration, his personal info was available via whois records. |
