IN DEFENSE OF DOMAIN NAMES

The Bigger they are, the harder they try.

AN ABSENCE OF BAD FAITH, A DOMAIN NAME CAN BE REGISTERED BY ANYONE

WHEN A DOMAIN NAME CONSISTS OF A GENERIC TERM, A SERIES OF DESCRIPTIVE WORDS, A GEOGRAPHICALLY SIGNIFICANT PLACE, AND OFTEN EVEN AN UNREGISTERED TRADEMARK

ALL BETS ARE OFF!

TRADEMARK BULLIES AND COMPLAINANTS WHO ACT RECKLESSLY OR WITHOUT A GOOD FAITH BASIS CAN BE DEEMED TO HAVE ENGAGED IN
