What do you think will happen if, depending on how many businesses, domainers and/or domain owners alike they have threatened, the threatened entities decide to take similar action to challenge the trademark individually, severally, or collectively? The action or actions may not necessarily be to win but to create fracas within their business arrangements. That for sure can be very costly especially if they end up losing the very trademark protection for which the risk was taken in the first place. Even if it's a mere dilution of the mark, there is an inherent cost associated with that given the potential business disruptions. The point is, it depends on how each threatened entity decides to fight. One of these days they will pick on a prickly entity that's just looking for the opportunity to create mayhem for bullies like that. Win or lose, they may not like the outcome. Just a thought or two!
