The confusingly similar test is actually one of the most controversial elements of the process and one of the reasons that it’s considered to favour the trademark owner over the domain name owner.

The confusingly similar mark cuts both ways and usually tends to cut the other way. The Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. MacLeod decision is a sensible but minority decision. Most of the sucks criticism sites were (almost certainly wrongly) found to be confusingly similar (for example bayersucks.biz, bayersucks.info, bayersucks.org, berlitzsucks.com, boozallensucks.com, brioexposed.com, brio-sucks.com, briosucks.com, cabelassucks.com, countrywidehomeloanssuck.com, covantasucks.com, ihatebaylor.com, laquintainnsucks.com, mlpwatchblog.com, not-img-europe.com, paulmcmannsucks.com, philipssucks.com, redbullsucks.com, sermosucks.com, vendiuniversalsucks.com, wal-martcanadasucks.com, walmartpeurtoricosucks.com, zipzoomflysucks.com etc)
