| Re: Individual's Names held by Others?
i) parking may not be concidered creating interest in the domain. Developed sites is how you create interest..
ii) Of course there is criteria that needs to be met. You jsut can't file for a TM for the purpose of trying to obtain a domain.
iii) If the person cannot prove their name is afforded TM protection, then there isn't much they can do. There was a recent case of an executive (I believe it was an AOL executive) who tried getting their domain, but was denied because he did not prove his name was used in commerce and could not prove common law TM. (But as a side note, I thought his case was lacking and could have done a better job)
