Actually, you can start a lawsuit on anything. Most of these will be kicked out even before they reach court. Domains were set up for just that, and unless a tm holder from one domain can prove that a tm holder from another domain registered the tm to harm the first, there is not much they can do.

But then again, law is never black and white. There is no right or wrong, just the opinion of one attorney vs. the opinion of another attorney, with a judge picking the winner ;-)

Unless we are using NewtonOS, Newton, Einstein, etc. in a non-commercial way, I don't think we will risk anything.
