Once upon a time, there was much wisdom at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1591.txt - - - - - - 4. Rights to Names 1) Names and Trademarks In case of a dispute between domain name registrants as to the rights to a particular name, the registration authority shall have no role or responsibility other than to provide the contact information to both parties. The registration of a domain name does not have any Trademark status. It is up to the requestor to be sure he is not violating anyone else's Trademark. - - - - On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 7:14 PM, Marc Perkel <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Wonder who will get the .god TLD? > > Rafik Dammak wrote: > > the domain name was supposed to be the way for heaven for some people , but > with trademark issues is becoming a hell :) > Rafik > > 2010/3/18 Marc Perkel <[log in to unmask]> >> >> How would this be evaluated?
