[QUOTE="jasdon11, post: 2118687, member: 69341"] Katherine, I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm not suggesting that the domain owner has any TM rights on the name, but just to make his presence felt to the company trying to obtain the TM for the term. Reasons for that are; to make them aware that the dn owner will not stand for any reverse hijacking nonsense if that's what they had in mind; and at this stage the dn owner can make it known whether or not they might be interested in selling the name. At the very least it puts the dn owner in a much stronger position for any eventuality. Sitting back and waiting for the company to get a TM, not knowing what they might have in mind, is crazy. A. Chances of that company coming and offering a substantial sum for the name: 5-10% B. Chances of that company offering a low amount for the domain: 10-30% C. Chances of that company never approaching owner for the name: 30-70% D. Chances of either B or C happening and getting hit with a UDRP: 15-25% E. Chances of the domain value being harmed by the granting of the TM: 90% [/QUOTE]
