You did mention making objections to any trademark applications that might be filed contrary to your interests. That is well within your rights, and may be worthwhile if you can state a sound opposition as to certain marks.

Lets say for example someone files an application to register a trademark for a name that is the same as one of your domain names and one of the classes they apply for is "websites" or similar, then surely there would be a legitimate
opposition ?. Similarly there is a trademark class for advertising on websites, and that must surely equate to pay per click adverts as well ?.
