status-resolved Global trademarks?

[N-A]

It seems as if the below rule was amended from being "oblivious" to "globally-protected".

6.1.15. Do not infringe on globally-protected trademarks by listing items for sale that violate the trademark holder's rights. Selling intellectual property or benefiting from the intellectual property of another party's without their permission is strictly prohibited.

So, I just have to question this. NamePros is saying that they will not protect against trademark infringement if a trademark - obliviously - infringes on a trademark only filed in the United States or a single (1) other country? It must be globally recognized?

Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread 'make offer - vimeo.io' - While it may be trademark in US it may not be in other countries. No rule violation at this time. Thank you for understanding.

I think there'd be a lot more TM domains held by cyber-squatters if the UDRP process only protected against TM's within the United States, and, not common-law or de facto marks elsewhere.

Maybe something to change back on NamePros?

Vimeo should have been closed. Please link me to the thread and I'll close it.

Thanks for your help,
