Domain trademarks can cost a pretty penny.
To celebrate its 2nd anniversary, the .XYZ Registry offered a promotional “penny per domain” pricing.
At the time, we pointed out that such cheap domains enable the proliferation of registrations for spamming purposes.
Another issue became apparent, after a UDRP involving 73 .XYZ domains – all “Calvin Klein” trademark violations.
The ongoing case has been filed by Calvin Klein Trademark Trust & Calvin Klein, Inc. for these .XYZ domains:

All these domains were registered on June 2nd by a Vietnamese registrant.
At a cost of merely 73 cents, the sole registrant has clearly attempted to capitalize on the Calvin Klein brand’s fame.
