#2What can be done about this?
For future founders: if you file a domain dispute, put all your arguments up front. Don't expect a chance to reply. Make sure you satisfy all 3 points: your rights, their lack of rights, and their bad faith registration. I hope you don't have to go through what Spase did.

#3Although I hate domain squatters I can’t see what the precise problem is. This company has a domain name in .io. space but wants one in .com. space. Not an unreasonable wish but it feels like a stretch to be a right IMHO.
There was some stuff about unreasonable claims made by the squatter and that doesn’t sound good but as this is a trying of tweets rather than a paragraph of text it was hard to follow.

Perhaps you and some others will find threaderapp helpful for the aesthetic point https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1309503585470701568.html

Yeah I’d really like to see some sort of systemic reform to prevent this. Really sucks how innovators have to pay this “toll” (to the trolls under the bridge) and have come to just resign themselves to the fact.
Musk had to wait 10 years and pay $11 million for Tesla.com —time and money that undoubtedly could’ve been better spent.

Definitely this:
(i) change the bad faith registration “and” use element to bad faith registration “or” use – to address scenarios where an older domain name openly infringes a newer brand;

According to this, spase.com was registered in 2005. Spase, Inc was incorporated in 2019. This company is accusing the owners of the domain, who had it for 14 years, of domain squatting and trying to take it away from them.
My sympathies lie more with the long-term owners of the domain, and not a recently formed company that is trying to take over a domain name they don't own.

The year bought is not the only thing that matters. Other factors include history of squatting. And whether the domain was bought in bad faith.

All I see that gp believed is what seem like easily verifiable facts. When was the domain registered? When was the company founded? Are either of those incorrect?
