There is a similar situation being discussed over on the Warrior Forum today.
A member had a web page which included a trademark.
Not a domain name, not a subdomain, but just a webpage
Thus
www.topleveldomain(dot)com / subdirectory / nodebt.html
It seems "NoDebt" is a registered trademark
It is quite a generic term for anything to do with finance industry
He was sent a C&D
Things like this imho and ianal are just going to extremes, where trademark holders can sue their way to the top of the search engines.
I suppose next we will have people being issued C&D for using a trademark in link text.
"Review of XYZ Trademark" as link text will get you in a $100,000 lawsuit
