"... we find that [trademark] issues properly should be addressed by the courts under the trademark protection and unfair competition laws, rather than by the Commission."
FCC CC Docket No. 95-155 Toll Free Service Access Codes, FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER , Adopted: March 27, 1998 Released: March 31, 1998, Para 7.
As such, a toll free vanity number that is in trademark dispute can only be canceled, revoked, transferred, or denied portability by a court order, not by the FCC or a carrier or RespOrg.
Domain names should be treated no differently.
