Yes, I had found that on icann but it specifically says "company's name" which isn't the case. Oh well, I guess I'd better put it down to experience. Sob.

Any suggestions as to what we might be able to do to challenge this? Do we have a leg to stand on? We haven't trademarked "west end whingers" but then again, it's hardly likely to have been a coincidence?
