We have the rights on the names of our applications, also without 
corresponding domain names, so there is probably no need to register 
additional domains. Keeps things more simple :-)

Speaking to people who we consider to violate our rights is always a good 
idea. We would need to do that anyway and it's often enough to resolve these 
kind of issues without the need to take formal legal steps. This should be a 
last resort.

In any case it helps if we can point people to a written policy which makes it 
clear how we expect our trademarks to be used, what we consider to be 
acceptable and what not.
