Python trademark at risk in Europe

Re:Python trademark at risk in Europe by mhandley on Friday February 15, 2013 @04:03AM (#5225240)

Have you tried filing a dispute resolution claim with Nominet to revoke python.co.uk. Their policy is here:

http://www.nominet.org.uk/disputes/when-use-drs/policy-and-p...

You might have a case under 3c(ii).

Edit: By the way, Nominet themselves use (or used) mailman, which uses Python:

So you might have some sympathy there.

I suspect the only reason PoBox/Veber are now filing a trademark is to pre-empt a challenge on the domain. They are just domain squatters who got hold of python.co.uk and now see it as investment -- possibly one of their last chances at surviving, seeing how they're rumoured to be £ 300k in debt.
