If the domain has the word "Olympics" - it is a TM issue.

They can also be quite aggressive in protecting their TM.

Here's their extent:

There used to be a competition for school-aged children called "Olympics of the Mind" (students would be challenged with problems that required creative thinking as well as problem solving skill to solve the problems and then had to show their results against other teams in the same age group). Non-profit and highly promoted education.

The IOC sued them and they had to change the name to "Odyssey of the Mind".
