But if my surname is "Smithopapadoakarian" (assuming someone with UK-Greek-Armenian roots) or if my product/app/service is BakeAPizzaOnYourOverheatedLaptop.com then the Amazons of the world better be ready for a fight because there is no way in hell that they have a product like that (unless they made one before me).
