This one is similar to "veronica.org" and "pokey.org." This one is "pseudo.org." Common English word, right? Well, not to Richard B. Gorelick of
Coudert Brothers law firm it seems. They've asked NSI to pull the registration of pseudo.org (a non commercial site) because it infringes on Jupiter Interactive Productions' trademark for the common English word.
Once again we have the case where there is no infringement, no possibility of confusion, no dilution (the use is non commercial) yet the domain name is going to be pulled unless the holder puts enough money together to file for an injunction.
Under WIPO rules it would likely be much worse. So for anyone who thinks that there isn't a problem with trademark interests running rampant, think again.
