Not sure what you are meaning Eddy.

If the trademark is in the domain name, then it using the mark.

How Mozilla protects the Firefox mark is a good example for the OpenID  
community. The OpenID Foundation REALLY, REALLY needs to develop a  
policy soon so that people know how to use the mark!

Note they don't have (tm) around Firefox, and don't need to. (tm)  
indicates to someone that it is likely a trademark, but is not required.
