If “cloud” is a registered trademark for clothing, it is (under the rules that exist today) entitled to purchase a Sunrise Registration. We do know that the use of Sunrise Registrations was relatively minimal. I am willing to concede that some parties may have abused the system by obtaining trademark registrations in order to game the system. That said, I do not think that we have seen any evidence of wholesale abuse. Even if 1,500 of the 36,000 or so trademarks registered in the TMCH are for dictionary terms that are generic for some goods and arbitrary for others THAT fact alone is not indicative of abuse. I get that there is a contingent of folks on this WG that have a fundamental philosophical problem with Sunrise Registrations. That argument was flogged to death in 2009 – 2010. Let’s move on. Kurt’s proposal of going back to IRT recommendations for a registry to choose which RPM (Sunrise or Claims Notice) is worth discussing. The elimination of either RPM is not.

To the list: I'm sorry this continues; I really would like to find
sources of evidence about what the consequences of extending match
criteria for claims notices would be. I don't in fact think that the
TMCH contains names of those individuals who've been wrongly deterred
from registering domain names they had a right to register. As has
been discussed for a while, I think it contains other relevant
evidence, like more words like "cloud" and "hotel" that prima facie
don't seem likely to justify preemptive rights across new gTLDs.
If we are discussing what counts as evidence, however, then for
purposes of justifying expanding match criteria, perhaps we need some
names of actual individuals who did cybersquat because of lack of a
match notice, but would not have done so had they received a match
notice. Or, we could agree that circumstantial evidence is also
evidence, which is my preferred position.
We could also talk more about how, if at all, we would deal with
"cloud" and "hotel" and the like if match criteria were expanded.

Thanks for the clarification Rebecca. I'm not sure how to respond to it since it seems that you are disputing the fact that no individual harmed by claims/sunrise has been identified to date and the fact that the TMCH does not contain the names of any such individuals. I guess when facts are denied, I agree that we have "exhausted the possibility of common ground on that topic."

Paul

To be clear, we disagree about the identification of harm from existing matches (and what else might be available with more information about the TMCH); I am merely suggesting that we talk about the proposal named in the email header at this point.

Thanks Rebecca. I will give some thought to your questions and come back to you with a substantive response; although I admit we are delving into psychology more than domain name law.
I am, however, please to see us moving away from discussions of unilaterally reducing/eliminating sunrise/claims (as opposed to Kurt's proposal of discussing whether or not a new balance between the two might be in order), especially since we have yet to identify a single individual claiming harm.
More soon.

Paul

Since we seem to have exhausted the possibility of common ground on that topic, let me try to get back to a related one: what is the evidence of harm at which the proposal to extend the match criteria is directed? Where, other than URS adjudications (which to be helpful would have to be matched to TMCH entries, to see if a match might even have occurred in the first place), could we look for evidence of the problem? To take an example that has already been raised, I'm not clear whether ASHLEY is in the TMCH, which it would have to have been to have returned a match for the range of ASHLEY formatives (or ASHLEY FURNITURE and ASHLEY BEDROOM and maybe a few others would have been needed).
Especially since I've seen people talking about "normalizing" matches so that people with good reasons will continue with their registrations anyway, what is the evidence that most individual registrants are repeat players who will understand instead of just abandoning in response to a match, as the current practice seems to be? What will the cost be in terms of reduced deterrence if in fact matches become so common that people learn to blow past them?
A while ago I suggested some empirical research into the effects of the current wording of the match notice; there didn't seem to be much interest then, but it still seems relevant.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your note. I guess I’m not understanding your comment.
It appears that you are tying together access to TMCH data with the
complete failure of those advocating for a reduction/elimination of
sunrise/claims to be able to produce a single example of a harmed
individual. The TMCH doesn’t contain any examples of the
so-far-unfound hypothetical of an individual who would have
registered and used a second level domain name for non-infringing
activities but for the existence of sunrise/claims. I understand
that it is entirely possible that no such individual exists, but you
won’t find them in the TMCH…
Best,
Paul

The
Paul,
Your questions are well taken. These issues need to be investigated
so that we can separate fact from supposition and argument. The main
issue I have been having is obtaining the facts necessary to undertaken the analysis.
I have kept asking for transparency. That is opposed.
You keep asking for evidence of abuse. I can't give you that without
the information.
How can these 2 issues be resolved?
Transparency is the only answer. If one side or the other keeps
trying to obscure facts (for whatever reason) the issue will remain
unresolved and the conclusions will remain victim of disposition and
argument instead of factually based.
So, lets get the information and see which position is correct. Ok?

Thanks Phil.
I think it may be too soon to judge the TM+50. Others on this list
have already pointed out the effects on high Sunrises prices on the
utility of Sunrises for brand owners and have noted the limited
utility inherent in a limited claims period. It is entirely possible
that TM+50 would have been much more frequently used if the RPMs had
been implemented with their spirit intact and not just their letter.

Paul:
While I am of course aware of the UDRP precedent of successful
actions brought against trademark + term or confusingly similar
domains that were being used in bad faith, I am of the personal view
that preventative rights should be narrowly based in the exact
word(s) that is/are trademarked, while curative rights can be broader
in responding to the, as you observed, virtually endless list of potential variants.
I am also wary of a potential registrant receiving a TM claims notice
warning generated by a TM variant in which no legal rights exist. How
would we even word the warning if we expanded the scope beyond an
exact match of a mark meeting TMCH registration standards? And, while
we don't know the exact percentage of non-infringing domain
registrations that would be abandoned as a result, it would likely be significant.
Finally, given the very low percentage of TM+50 terms registered in
the TMCH, despite their actual use in cybersquatting, it's unlikely
there's would be substantial use of the ability to register TM
variants in the TMCH.
Hope you'll take those views under advisement.

Thanks Phil. There is UDRP precedent for the idea that the inclusion
of certain industry related words in conjunction with a mark tends to
strongly lead back to the brand owner and its trademarks within the
arena in which the brand owner’s mark is strongest. Given that, a
claims notice for trademark + related terms can help deter mischief
and a Sunrise for trademark + related terms fully prohibit mischief
(at least for that variant – as we all know from Ashley Furniture
Industries, Inc. v. Fahri Hadikusuma et al. the variants that a
determines cybersquatter can come up with are endless as are the enforcement expenses that Trademark owners have to bear
which indirectly subsidize the domain name industry). For the full
dramatic effect, I copy in below the Fahri variants as an example of
hardship. In so doing, I join the growing chorus of voices asking
for those wishing to scale back Claims and Sunrise to produce at
least one actual example of hardship on the part of a good faith,
thwarted registrant. While more than one would be great – at least one would be most welcome.

As we are tasked with reviewing RIGHTS Protection Mechanisms, my
threshold question to those proposing expansion of the RPMs rooted in
the TMCH is what Rights exist in trademark+ terms?
I make this inquiry with a firm belief that ICANN should make
reasonable accommodation to protect recognized legal rights, coupled
to a strong view that ICANN is not a legislature for the DNS and has
no remit to confer rights that go beyond existing law.

Pardon the brevity and lateness of the following, but I wanted to
submit the following Rationale and Proposals in regard to Question 10
with the understanding that they will undoubtedly be subject of
discussion and exposition. The intent of this Proposal is to expand
the scope of domain name strings subject to Trademark Claims Service
notices in order to help good faith domain name applicants avoid
possible conflict and expense when they inadvertently seek to
register a domain name that includes and could create confusion with
a Trademark registered in the TMCH. This will avoid unnecessary cost
to the Applicant, and enable it to either prepare for or ensure that its planned use of a domain name will not lead to conflict.
For the same reasons – and because of the success of the Trademark
Claims procedure in deterring bad faith domain name registrations in
the new gTLDs in the interests of both trademark owners and Internet
users – I also propose expanding the scope of the Trademark Claims Service.

Rationale and Proposal:
We (the RPM Working Group) have identified a minor change in current
TMCH Trademark Claims Service practices that could benefit both
Domain Name Applicants and Trademark Owners:
1. We have become aware that Domain Name Applicants (Applicants) and
Trademark Owners who have registered their trademarks in the TMCH
(TMCH
Trademarks) have both sustained unnecessary expense in time, effort,
and planning when Domain Names that have proceeded to registration
contain strings that are confusingly similar to TMCH Trademarks are
challenged after their registration.
2. Current Trademark Claims Notice rules limit the issuance of
Notifications to applications that consist solely of the exact TMCH
Trademark.
3. As a result, Applicants are unaware of potential conflicts and may
proceed with expending time, money and planning on the use of Domain
Names that may be challenged.
4. Applicants should have the ability to consider whether to proceed
with their planning and use of Domain Names in light of TMCH
Trademarks at the earliest opportunity in order to conserve fees and planning efforts.
5. Trademark Owners should have the ability to identify both Domain
Names that could create confusion and those that will not at the
earliest opportunity.
Proposal:
1. The TMCH Rules should be revised to require Trademark Claims
Notices be issued not only for Domain Names that consist of the Exact
string of TMCH Trademarks, but also of any Domain Name that includes
anywhere in the string the Exact string of TMCH Trademarks.
In addition, we believe the success of the Trademark Claims Service
in enabling both trademark owners and domain name applicants to learn
of potential conflicts from an early stage in the application process
-- when changes can be made or applications either abandoned or
continued with the least expense of time, effort, or disruption –
would support expansion of the service beyond the new gTLDs. For the
same reasons, we propose the
following:
Proposal: The Trademark Claims Service and TMCH registration program
should be expanded to apply to all Legacy TLDs as well as New gTLDs.
