- It is clear that
nothing in trademark law requires that title
to domain names that incorporate trademarks
or portions of trademarks be provided to
trademark holders. To hold otherwise would
create an immediate and indefinite monopoly
to all famous mark holders on the Internet,
by which they could lay claim to all .com
domain names which are arguably 'the same' as
their mark. The Court may not create such
property rights-in-gross as a matter of
dilution law. ... Trademark law does not
support such a monopoly.
