take a look at section nine of the arin contract. it is that kind of thing to which i object.
9. NO PROPERTY RIGHTS Legacy Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the number resources are not property (real, personal, or intellectual) and that Legacy Applicant does not have any property rights in or to the Included Number Resources, including but not limited by this Legacy Agreement or the prior issuance of these resources to it. Legacy Applicant further agrees that it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, to obtain or assert any trademark, service mark, copyright, or any other form of property rights in any included number resources in the United States or any other country. This is identical to section 9 of the normal ARIN RSA and it is consistent with RFC 2050 as well. Why do you object? --Michael Dillon <http://www.arin.net/registration/agreements/legacy_rsa.pdf> <http://www.arin.net/registration/agreements/rsa.pdf>
