A us company has no right to declare a trademark in a country for which it is not even doing business or making the damn thing.
Every country is different and a company has no right to declare us protections on a name in other countries.
Business is dog eat dog and it seems like US companies want help from the legal system's of countries to extend their tradmarks worldwide.
Now if i went to a developing country i could register microsoft with that countries tardmark office and there's not a damn thing the US company microsoft should be able to do about it. I like that. I don't think companies should have international copywrite, but rather have to apply and be granted it in each country they do business in. That way they can't be registering it in countries they don't even do business in for the sake of "protecting their brand" in case they feel like doing business there latter.
