of the cases (I have re-run the search several times, and had a colleague do the same, including in different browsers).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In either event, some of the cases were filed the same month as the DDN was registered, and the longest stretch was one year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
