[ga] Gin, whiskey and litigation
Of the many dot info registrations of generic terms which are being called into question, a significant number appear to emanate from two registrars - Yesnic and Tucows. Examples would be LIFE, LOVE, AUDIO, LAWYER and MILK (what more do you need?) from Yesnic. Tucows' examples would be GIN, WHISKEY and LITIGATION. Many of the Yesnic registrations identify Yesnic as the registrant organization. Several of the Tucows' regs use 2040 as the trademark registration date (different registrants), suggesting perhaps a default date on a form. Have Afilias, Yesnic or Tucows made any statements as to whether these were caused by erroneous submission of a batch of non-sunrise applications? (the much-publicized science.info reg was submitted by csc, not these two). |
