Sorry, no. General Motors has a whole building in Warren, Michigan devoted to taking apart cars from other companies. They look at methods used, quality of construction, and new ways of thinking about car design. Even though they can't copy patented mechanisms, they learn a whole lot about how they can make their product better.
So based on a special law passed in the US, the IOC is going to sue (in the US) to remove domains owned by people in other countries? Can't wait for some other countries to catch on and start passing laws to give themselves the Rights (tm) to all sorts of Valuable (tm) Trademarks (tm)
