<pre wrap="">Thanks Rebecca. I'm not characterizing you as anti-trademark; just your arguments and positions to date on this list. We would very much welcome anything favorable to trademarks that you wish to add to the discourse.

It may be worth noting that if we go by the public remarks of the
International Trademark Association, they too don't seem to believe
that the lowest common denominator standards of a single country
should have extra-territorial application throughout the world, as
occurs in the case of the TMCH (this comes from their application to
be joined to the Equustek case, a Canadian case which sought to
apply its law extra-territorially).<br>
<blockquote>INTA has an over-arching interest in having the
territoriality of trademark law recognized in court decisions
around the world. This appeal is squarely within INTA's interests
as it raises the issue of the appropriate territorial effect of an
injunctive remedy granted in the context of trademark litigation.
... In particular INTA will provide submissions on how the
territorial nature of trademark rights relates to the scope of
extra-territorial injunctions available to enforce those rights;
and the issue of trademark territoriality as it relates to "the
core values of any nation" that may be effected by an
extra-territorial injunction which prevents, in the worlds of the
Court of Appeal for British Columbia, "advertising [of] wares that
violate ... intellectual property rights."</blockquote>
So maybe INTA too is anti-trademark. ;-)<br>
