Quote:
The Panel finds that the use of UNIX as part of the domain name not followed by a noun is a misuse of the trademark not authorized by the Complainant. The evidence submitted by the Respondent as seen in Annex 2 show the use of UNIX in combination such as UnixReview.com; UNIX Reference Desk and UNIX Training a sponsored link, all being uses of UNIX as an adjective in association with a noun defining the goods or services.
Most of the domain names that you guys have proposed would fail that test. And there's more to this. I delayed posting until I reread the noun and adjective chapters in Harper's English Grammer. The terms "mouse trap", "mouse-trap", and "mousetrap" are a compound noun, a hyphenated compound noun, and a solid compound noun. I cannot find any support for calling a noun an adjective in usage like that. I am not convinced that it's possible to use "UNIX" as an adjective. There is a adjective form of mouse, "mousey". Need we say "UNIXy"? What is my response if I am asked under oath if we used "UNIX" as a noun?

And the current proceedings are about domain names. Can we be sure that content is safe? Can we be sued for participating in this thread? Can Neo be sued for allowing this content on his web site? I'm getting uneasy about discussing you-know-what in public. I think that we would need more than just a new domain name to continue. We would also need some answers to these issues.
