RE: [ifwp] NSI Domain Name Dispute Stats

I would say yes.  Cybersquating restricted to trademarked
names only?  I think not.  There are some very desirable
names that are too generic to trademark but they could still
have high value.  Maybe my definition of cybersquating is
broader than most.

Possible, yes, but can one truly "cybersquat" if the name
isn't trademarked?
