    Matthias, <br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your observations. I did read the Loreal application
    before I wrote the article. Stage 1 and stage 2 are what they commit
    to which consists of allowing only Loreal and close partners (as
    selected by Loreal) to register.... This is consistent with saying
    that Loreal will be able use it like its private property..... In
    any case, the article explicates the meaning of private against
    public use in specifically giving the example of how a corner beauty
    salon would not be able to freely seek registration under .beauty. <br>
