Hello,
I'm writing to most important economic newspapers and magazines to denounce the Eurid policy for generic names and trademarks applied by societies under U.S. control with phantom societies located in Europe.
I invite all people from Europe to do the same.
My goal is to give, and to have, the chance to get the generic names in a new landrush and in a fair game. Not with tons of trademarks from the big sharks.
In the meantime i wrote also to the European Community.
I try, hope to move some opinions by media.
Am I a dreamer?

let it go, and live on..
there is nothing you can do.
 
There are plenty of good names available. Patience.

Really? Every so called 'good name' I have cheked is gone without exception, and I have looked at a lot of names! Perhaps your version of a good name and mine are different but I am not really too demanding, in fact, most of the names I checked were 2 and 3 worders, far from top-tier. Thus I have stopped bothering to look and have now thrown in the towel on .eu.

P.S. Don't blame this on so called 'American Sharks' instead blame what happened squarely on the EU Registry and on the Europeans who wrote the rules for allowing so many places to easily become new .EU Registries at low cost and little requirements, and also permitting last minute trademarks at Benelux and thus letting places like Pool grab most all of the real good ones.

You are absolutely right.

I made a title for this thread that want to sound a little suggestive, but the great faults it's in Eu Registry's behaviour. I'm denuncing that behaviour, sharks are from every place and they try always to do their interests, eating little fishes, it depends if the authority gave them the opportunity to do it or not.
I'll try to go against Eu registry with the little space i can get on media in Italy (my full day work is not this one, i write on newspapers and comics books first, obviously in my language :) )
I appreciate your post and i agrre with you, thanks for your opinion.

I respect your determination, but I'm afraid the EU is generally a bureaucratic and unaccountable organisation. The mismanagement of the .eu registration process doesn't surprise me the slightest: if they had actually carried it out with a modicum of professionalism I would have have been surprised. You have little chance.

Eight years in the making and they release the domain names in such a shambolic way.

It's why most people in the UK, given a referendum which they've been demanding for 20 years, would opt for the country to leave the EU.
