Clearly, IMO, a bad policy when dealing with strings that are trade marked multiple times. But I might have missed a few historical rounds. Or I'm missing something else.

There is no need to apply for a gTLD to “protect” trademarked brand names. The policy allows one to pre-empt/prevent someone else from registering a gTLD based on your trademark. In other words, louisvuitton’s refusal to apply for . louisvuitton does NOT mean that anyone else can apply for it.
