Re: [ICANN-EU] ... and other candidates

Dear Marc:

May I correct a misconception, which might be common.

The owner has to take action to protect or defend
a trademark. It is the owners duty to constantly monitor 
new registrations and to timely object in case he sees
its right violated.
No objection means, it is yours! 
The Barcelona.com owner most probably forget or did not know!

Nobody is - and hopefully will never be - required, 
to check for availability.

Another hint:
If a trademark is registered for a class without being used for it. 
After a certain period (3 years in Germany) everybody can move 
for elimination! Then it is gone! Over! Free!

Best regards,

Andreas Fuegner
