[GNSO-RPM-WG] Revised Version of URS Proposal #12

[BECKHAM, Brian]

Speaking in my non-chair capacity, and mindful of the "low bar" that has been set for inclusion in the Initial Report, I would like to register the strongest of objections to this proposal.

Not only would it give carte blanche to later-acquiring registrants to infringe a complainant's mark, but moreover, the claimed ambiguity blatantly mischaracterizes panel consensus described in the WIPO Overview, which does not reflect any "ambiguity" in how panels assess the applicable registration date.

Perhaps one or two panelists or counsel who are members of this WG could add their views.

Brian

Hi folks,

Attached is the revised version of URS Proposal #12, after discussions
with Rebecca on how to handle the unintended consequences she
identified in the original proposal. Many thanks to Rebecca for
identifying the issue and the solution.

Sincerely,
