Domain Names, Trademarks and Taxonomies

Line: 56 to 54
 
  • But the important part is that once you provide a one-to-one mapping for the names that people are legally entitled to, in the case of trademarks and other legally reserved names, which are bounded by both an issuing jurisdiction and a line of commerce, you can cease worrying about whether anyone is legally entitled to any of the more generic locations in the FQDN namespace, and let the market or the preferences of national registrars determine the outcome freely.

  • This came up in my initial brainstorming and I'm not sure why it didn't make it into the text. Although using both a jurisdiction and line of commerce in the domain name (sort of like k12.xx.us, but longer) would give trademark holders a place to call their own / be a nice idea, the interests with established trademarks (and, generally, with money and influence) would probably prefer to keep the remaining hostile holders of generic domains worrying and subject to UDRP.
