To register a .eu domain names you must be one of the following: Undertakings having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the European Community; Organizations established within the European Community without prejudice to the application of national law; Natural person's resident within the European Community. At the launch of .eu, there will be a sunrise period of 4 months during which only public bodies and those with recognized rights to a name (such as trademark holders) may register.

So does that mean that trademark holders in the US without a European office cannot claim their .eu domain (as the thread title suggests?)

Do we have to wait for someone to register our trademark and then challenge it?
