I'd say it's a good reg to get sued on. It's really not a good idea to go about regging names only because of who owns the .com.

Being such a generic term it is hard to imagine the .com could successfully win a suit but I'm sure stranger things have happened. But it does not help your case namegeeks when you publicly insinuate that the sole reason you reged the name is to coattail on the .com.

Namegeeks, I'd advise you to be very cautious. Just posting what you just did, is enough to convince panelists that you may have regged the name in bad faith.

"Import Food" is not even a TM. The panelists will just dismiss the claim without prejudice, IMNSHO.

It may not be registered (circle R) but TM's don't need to be registered to be enforced. They claim a TM on their site so we are simply suggesting you be careful in what you do with your domain and how you discuss it. No smack down here, just friendly advice.
