[gnso-rpm-wg] Agenda and documents for Working Group call this week

[icannlists]

I have to agree with Paul K. here.  The TMCH is not a rights protection mechanism.  It is a database containing carefully selected trademark records as lodged by their owners.  Nothing more.

Best,
Paul

Prk comment.

Not to pester a point but when we were arguing to make the TMCH public Or as an alternative to allow this WG to access certain parts of it we were told the opposite.

Paul Keating, Esq.
