Default Re: .com or .net (it can panic or not?)

There wouldn't be any real issue as any TM name is provisioned in the ICANN make up so that anyone registering it would have to give up the domain immediately to the TM holder. Easier with a ® trade mark too..

On the worried side etc. the worry (fear) comes from what will these people do to our good name, are they profiting from using our name etc. There are quite a few court cases over the last 12 years or so where people have done just that, registered a similar domain name or different extension to some large companies names, and have had to hand over the domain, profits and pay fines and court costs on top of it all.
