[comments-gtlds] Generic TLDs and Trademarks

["Matthew Strebe" <mstrebe@home.com>]

Some parties have argued that the rollout of new gTLDs should be delayed
until a formalized method exists for trademark holders to challenge would-be
mark usurpers who have registered their property in a new gTLD.

We already have a formalized method: Civil litigation. Big companies with
globally famous trademarks already have both the capital and the legal
resources to protect themselves. Small companies with small trademarks
aren't globally famous and therefore don't deserve special protection in
other newly released gTLDs.

This is argument should not delay the rollout of new gTLDs.
