ICANN Sticks Up for Trademark Holders

Larry Seltzer (eWeek, posted here on Yahoo! News) writes that:

Did you ever wonder what happens to those domains, like [BigCompanyname]sucks.com, that some guy registers to criticize BigCompany? Turns out there's a procedure for these things.

I've given ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) a hard time in the past, but there are certainly positive aspects to its Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy. Perhaps it wasn't designed for every problem involving domain names, but it deals effectively with the ones it's designed for.
