Harry Potter Eat Your Heart Out!

I think the developer would be happy just getting the .co.uk as he is UK based and only trying to protect his brand name.

Personally I would not develop a UK brand without a .co.uk.....I may well choose the .com version as the brand but not if I didn't have the .co.uk equivalent. It is rare that a .com is typed in when the brand is uk based.

I would not advise a client to go ahead with naming a �350 million development without both - especially if the one they did not have hosted a hostile website about witchcraft that was openly critical of them. Being a .com as well, they do not have a second bite at the UDRP cherry if there is a change of use - so it would be a nightmare.

I was merely expressing that if I was developer and had to choose I would choose the .co.uk. Whether I would choose a brand without first securing its name is a different issue and one I agree with you entirely.
