ICANN can’t legally decide if the word Thesis, as used in thesis.com, is “too generic,” since that is decided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which gave the Thesis trademark to Pearson. Having the trademark alone gave Pearson the legal right to obtain ownership of thesis.com without satisfying any other critieria. If ICANN is accountable to the court system, then Pearson would have the ability to sue them perhaps citing the fact that ICANN has no legal right to decide against a trademark holder. Keep in mind the United States Patent and Trademark Office has their own criteria that must be investigated and met before issuing a trademark, which then provides a legal basis to protect it.

With this case ICANN lost ALL credibility, and should have an oversight committee look into how they are deciding these cases. Further, ICANN should be investigated to see if there is an element of corruption, which is materially hurting companies like the one owned by Pearson.

The bottom line, this decision needs to be investigated for wrongdoing.
