I file a trademark application for ORACLE for socks. Oracle doesn't sue
because I promised. I instead use ORACLE for chewing gum. Oracle doesn't
care. I instead use ORACLE for software. Oracle sues.
Veronica's dad applies for veronica.org and types in one more line in the
application - "personal non-commercial pages; selling rare birds; stock
ticker." Archie doesn't sue because Veronica's dad promised. The
applicant instead use the web site for laser weapons, drilling equipment
and a Blues Clues fan page. Archie can independently verify so it doesn't
sue. Veronica's dad begins selling comic books. Archie can independently
verify and sues (in civil court).
