Question about a tradeoff:

1.  You register a name and begin to use it immediately.  You "invest" in
that name significantly, even if only to place it on your business cards.
Along comes someone contesting your use and take you to court and forces
you to give it up.  Start over, having wasted time and money, and having to
re-inform folks of your new/next name.

2.  You register a name and wait 2 months.   You are challenged and have to
give up the name.  YOu have little invested, since you haven't started
using it.

	I would choose 2.  What makes it so onerous?
