That's what I want to know. For some reason I just don't trust them to
catch all the fraudulent claims. I also do not see the logic in simply
running a script to DELETE all claims with invalid Trademark dates, that
could be done VERY quickly and easily and from what I have seen, would
account for 25% - 50% of all the frauds.
I also would really like to know how/when they plan on releasing these
names back to the system. Seems like it would be smart for Snapnames to
get involved. :-) (*ducking*).
I've said it before, and I will say it again. I am AMAZED at the level
of incompetence which led to this situation (I'm speaking mostly about
the lack of a date-validation on the trademark-date field). *SIGH*
Uhm, I have no real question, just stating my frustration. :-) Thanks
for listening!
