based on other articles on this topic, it seems that allowing for trademark names is half the point (e.g. Canon.com switching to .Canon). These companies aren't applying for the string so that others may use it, they're applying so that their company brand is all over their domain.

Besides, working with my example of .AFAMILYCOMPANY, I'm not sure that J&J even has any good uses in mind for it. They do have afamilycompany.com registered, but it doesn't appear to have any DNS records set up.
