RE: [DML] DMC and Trademarks

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Actually yes.  Scenarios like this can and do happen - maybe not with real estate, but certainly with other private property.  One of my Esprits was converted by the person I bought it from.  The car was abandoned, the registered owner could not be found, and after a suitable period of time the title was converted.  

When you think about it, all trademarks are assigned by "squatters rights".
