<div class="">I agree that, as someone said, we’re a bit in the weeds and off-topic but it strikes me that we should understand what we’re talking about. And while it seems clear that we won’t ever agree on what a trademark is (based on our varied jurisdictions)
the fact that we have many different interpretations of that should be borne out in our ongoing conversations. After all, if we’re going to be ensuring the protection of trademarks we need to understand what those are and, if we can’t come to an agreement
about what they are, that will need to be taken into account when we decide how best to go about protecting them.</div>

First, you do t know the use of the domain. That is rather the point. By allowing the T,CH to be used as a preventative tool we must weigh the balances of the exclusive right of use represented un the trademark and the rights of domain registrants to use
the domain for any other purpose.</div>

Second, Marie, a trademark is NOT a property right. It is a right of exclusive use granted by governmental authority over the use of a term, word, or other element in association with a specific product or service. AND that right is LIMITED jurisdictionally. </div>

body, 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?<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p>

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.
