[GNSO-RPM-WG] Q#8

[Kathy Kleiman]

All,

Last week we found considerable overlap and common ground on Q#8.  I 
promised to circulate language sharing that agreement and slightly 
refining existing proposals.

Q#8:

3.2 The standards for inclusion in the Clearinghouse are:

3.2.1 Nationally or regionally registered word marks from all jurisdictions.

3.2.2 Any word mark that has been validated through a court of law or 
other judicial proceeding.

3.2.3 Any word marks specified in and protected by a statute or treaty 
/as trademarks /[1]//in effect at the time the mark is submitted to the 
Clearinghouse for inclusion.

3.2.4 Other marks that constitute intellectual property.[see below]

3.2.5 Protections afforded to trademark registrations do not extend to 
applications for registrations, marks.

[1] /By "trademarks," the WG means "trademarks, service marks, 
certification marks and collective marks."
/

For purposes of clarity, separate or ancillary databases of the 
Trademark Clearinghouse Provider (or another provider) may include other 
marks, but those databases should not be used for Sunrise or Trademark 
Claims Notices under the RPMs. Registries may use those separate or 
ancillary databases to provide additional services but are not required 
to do so under the RPMs.

//(Appropriate corresponding changes will be percolated across the 
/Trademark Clearinghouse/ Applicant Guidebook)

Best, Kathy
