Who has ultimate rights here?

Apparently Wrong Forum.
My apologies!

Looks like for this one you'll be shelling out a $300 /hour fee with a retainer.

Fat chance getting one of the attorneys here to answer those questions for
free. You’d have to look around or do what RADiSTAR said. :-D

I may have gotten carried away :wink: so, I edited down to one question :blush:

I've heard from several attorneys with varying opinions and strategies. I'd really appreciate feedback and/or opinions from experienced domainers on this issue.

The only people who might be able to offer reliable feedback about what the USPTO is/is not likely to do are patent or trademark attorneys who have experience filing Trademark Registration Applications. Although the people who post to this forum have a wealth of knowledge on domain names and other topics, you are doing yourself a disservice if you ask for non-legal opinions on this particular subject (trademark registration).

I see you say you have heard from several attorneys. I would suggest you go with one of their opinions (keeping in mind of course that they are also unable to predict what the USPTO will do with absolute certainty).

Good luck with your decision.
