And so it begins....if one conducts a search, 14 different hits
come back associated with ‘canon’. Its connotation can be found in music,
religion and printing – so Canon will be in control of a term that goes far
beyond a brand and will get protection for it internationally against basic
principles of international trademark law. And, this is just the beginning....

Is Canon the first official
announcement of intent to register a ".brand" gTLD?

A reasonably interesting test case - it is, of course,
an English language word as well as a brand. pachelbels.canon, anyone?
