You'll get no sympathy here. Virtually all trademark claims were as phony as the .info ones. I've been advised of such claims for words like cars, boats, loans, etc. Duh! Let's see, should I "proceed?"
Even those that are 100% legitimate -- your client's trademark, no doubt -- are generally limited to a class or two of goods/services. There is no reason that a trademark holder should automatically get any and all domains that contains its mark. There may be many legitimate uses beyond the marks boundary. The system, however, has always been about who has most power. Clearly that war is being waged by WIPO and many innocents have been dragged through arbitration. I'm not excusing targeted speculation, that's wrong. But, I certainly don't take a trademark claims on face value; they need to earn respect.

Our client payed for the IP claim. (It's good that they are a big lawyer office!) So now they loose the IP claim money?? Onother name was registered on a domainbroker instead of someone who needs it for work. Pffff all work was waysted time!! I had already a bad feeling, but not like this!!
