Scott and others: the TMCH is not the place to challenge underlying trademark registrations. The appropriate recourse is to challenge the registration at the appropriate national or regional trademark office. The TMCH must record any mark that satisfies the validation criteria, including proof of use requirements for access to Sunrise services. It is important to remember that Sunrise registrations are only permitted where the mark owner has submitted acceptable proof of use to the TMCH (otherwise, a recorded mark is only eligible for Trademark Claims service). I support examining the criteria for proof of use to see if we can improve them to minimize acceptance of insufficient or mere “token” specimens of use, but let’s not be overbroad in decrying the TMCH because some gaming is occurring. Also, a mark need not be “famous” or “well-known” in order to be protected and this is not, nor should it be, a requirement of TMCH recordal of an otherwise valid trademark. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'>Looking forward to discussing these issues at greater length at the appropriate time.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'>Best regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"UICTFontTextStyleBody","serif"'>Brian</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Brian J.
