Correct. In fact, every owner of a mark ACME can register in the TMCH.

    Jeremy - the TMCH does not allow exclusive rights in domains.  Having a mark in the TMCH affords nothing close an exclusive right.  That's a basic truth which shouldn’t be ignored.

    The fact that the TMCH is allowing exclusive rights in domains that go beyond the equivalent rights in domestic trademark law is itself a problem if we accept that the TMCH was meant to track trademark law.
