the TMCH and getting first access to valuable dictionary words. Question for the community: The TMCH rules are fairly straightforward. How much “gaming” of the system is tolerable? Have you seen evidence of such “gaming” that is so egregious as to warrant
complex rule changes?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the purpose is to obtain a mark simply to enter the field sooner, not to enforce trademark rights. We invite the community’s comment on this, particularly related to the magnitude of the problem.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
