to create a carbon copy of .com in every TLD, we’ve all wasted a number of years.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

and we all know that it can’t (and I very much doubt it would want to!) make law. Various laws in the various jurisdictions around the world include various TM laws, which in turn include rules and practises for how and why TMs are granted. That’s what the
TMCH is - a repository of TMs that have been legally granted. No?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">And unless and until a TM lapses, or is cancelled, it’s as much a legal property right as any other. It can’t be OK for an independent administrative repository
of TMs to decide to ignore some legal property rights, surely? If the TMCH were just a private list with no function then we’d be on different ground, but given that it’s the gatekeeper for accessing certain RPMs I can’t see under what basis this administrative
repository could be allowed to choose which property rights are allowed through the gate and which aren’t.

actual courts? And holding it out to be some form of appeal body is surely only going to confuse non-TM people, like most registrants, as to its “powers”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

any other word to uses it may have offline? So isn’t that actually discriminating against words that are in TMs against words that aren’t - dictionary, arbitrary, proper or just plain made up? What are we actually trying to do?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
