<p class="MsoPlainText">Except that real life doesn't pan out like that. In my experience as a trademark practitioner, my clients are not interested in gobbling up domain names for registration's sake - and absorbing the administrative and financial headaches
that this entails. Rather, most brand owners are primarily concerned with stopping the registration of domains names that genuinely cause confusion with consumers, or which pose a potential threat to consumer and public safety (e.g., phishing, malware, etc.).
A domain name registration along the lines you suggest below simply does not reflect that business reality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">That said, I am not so naïve to suppose that this <i>never</i> happens by a trademark owner acting in bad faith, but I am not aware of any evidence to suggest this is the norm. Moreover, the greater threat are the instances where domain
investors/resellers/scalpers (choose your preferred terminology) register domain names which
<i>they</i> have no bona fide interest in using, apart from reselling it at a profit to a party interested in using it for legitimate purposes – aka, a brand owner. This is exactly the type of “abuse” the TMCH was designed to prevent.<o:p></o:p></p>
