I think Ed will struggle to do this unless another country has based its IP rights system on Nominet's.
Let's face it Ed - Nominet is the most blatantly unfair DRS in the world as VJRoberts put so well. Combined with the patent office handing out trademarks for the most common generic terms many domain entrepreneurs have registered common generic words/sayings many years before that will be snatched away as soon as your expert sees the trademark. You are actually encouraging large corporations to throw some money at a common word or phrase and hitting the jackpot because of the Nominet's expert skewing favouritism to the trademark which may have been registered many years after the domain was first registered. The sooner it is changed the better.
