That's why 3M registered mmm.com back in 1988.
Not to mention the fact that the company was originally _named_ "Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing", and that '3M' was *just* a logo and trademark.

I recall that in the UK, before Nominet deregulated the name space, it was forbidden to have a domain name which wasn't virtually identical to your company name. Product names and trademarks weren't allowed. The example used at the time was "you can have kelloggs.co.uk, but not cornflakes.co.uk". 3m.co.uk wasn't registered until 1997 (a year after Nominet's birth). -- Roland Perry
