Re: Trademarks

In response to Robert Frank's comments below...
With your statement below, at last there is a focus on the fundamental
problem underlying the  need for the 60 day wait. There are certainly
domain name/trademark conflicts that exist outside of deltaairlines.com,
but it is the broker-reseller's activities that has triggered the posh for
the 60 dat wait.
In searching for a remedy, the remedy needs to meets 2 tests:
1) that the proposed remedy will resolve, eliminate or substantially reduce
the problem, and,
2) that the cost of the proposed remedy is sufficiently less than the value
attached to the anticpated benefit.
The proposed 60 day wait meets neither test.
