Re: [ga-udrp] TM not infringed on by registering a domain name
In light of the US case, you may also be interested in a recent UK Court of
Appeal Judgement which confrirmed a High Court decision to refuse
registration in the UK of the mark "800-FLOWERS" by US entity 1-800-FLOWERS
Inc. It can also be seen as having relevance to attempts to register domain
names as trademarks.
The CA judgement is at

Subject: [ga-udrp] TM not infringed on by registering a domain name
Court finds that just registering a domain name does NOT infringe upon the
TM of the same or similar name. Only USE of the domain name to compete could
be an infringement. Finally somebody gets the point.
