IANAL, but a domain name is more than just a reference to a product. ICANN gives trademark holders additional privileges when it comes to domain names.

  http://www.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/ip/ http://www.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/ip/ > Complaints regarding trademark infringement due to website content and domain names are outside of ICANN's scope and authority. The only case where ICANN Has anything to say is in a case of domain squatting, which this isn't: although Canonical has a trademark interest in "Ubuntu", there's no violation since it's being used nominatively,and it's not being used in bad faith. (Search for UDRP for more information on this policy).

    In that case Canonical have really shot themselves in the foot :)

      They do it so frequently I'm surprised they have any feet left!
