<p>Dear Brian,</p>
<p>so essentially the chilling effects of the claims notice would
persist for such registration requests. I would propose that such
strings would only be protected by notifications, without any
interruptions in the registration path. <br>

Volker. Brian W – were you suggesting that the two
categories of additional inexact “matches” be included
in the TMCH in addition to the categories Greg
provided? On the second category (Related Brand Names)
how would that play out in practice? Would we include
every possible permutation of existing marks already
contained in the TMCH? That would be quite the
expansion of the TMCH. Would it just for somehow
related fields/services and if so, who would make the
determination for “related” marks?

<p>Hi Brian,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>why should such "telescoped terms" be protected at all? To
take but two of your examples:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>sie.men - Siemen is a Dutch name. Sie also means "You"
formally in German. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p>NES.cafe - So if I wanted to open a retro-style gaming cafe
for the Nintendo Entertainment System, that would trigger
your proposed protections?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It seems to be assumed that if a string matches or is
similar to a trademarked term, its registration equates to
cybersquatting, but that is not the case. Such protections
are overreaching and infringing on the ability of legitimate
users of such strings.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>A trademark is only violated if the domain is used in a
violating way or if the intent of the registration is to
deprive or to extort from the trademark holder. ANY other
use of the term is likely to be legitimate and should not in
any way be made more difficult than any other domain
registration. <o:p></o:p></p>

create consumer confusion concerning the relationship

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">As
I've mentioned earlier, I think that a proposal to
use non-exact matches other than "mark contained"
matches ("dumb matches") makes sense to pursue.
Various types of matches have been discussed;
however, there has been no actual proposal for
"smarter" matches that can be used by the group.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The
attached proposal seek to fill that gap. It is more
in the nature of an addendum to the initial proposal
on non-exact matches. However, it does provide a
more formal proposal on the types of non-exact
matches to be considered. The intent is to provide
a sufficient framework to discuss these types of
non-exact matches and to add these non-exact matches
to the proposal.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

hope that this helpful to the work of the group.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
