Company files for injunction against 189 new gTLDs
http://j.mp/SVu0pq (Domain Incite)
Alternate root player Name.Space has sued ICANN for trademark
infringement and anti-competitive behavior, saying "insiders" have
conspired to keep it out of the new gTLD program. If successful, the
suit would prevent dozens of new gTLD applicants from having their
applications approved. The lawsuit, filed in California this week,
follows a warning the company fired at ICANN this March. While only
ICANN is named as a defendant, the suit alleges that the new gTLD
program was crafted by and is dominated by "ICANN insiders" and
"industry titans".

Plaintiff is apparently being represented by MoFo, a rather
prestigious law firm.
