Regarding "Near Copywrited" Domains

Factual Questions
1

This is another one of my internet questions re: legal stuff

Now I know two things. First is if you register a legal copywrite as a domain and the copywrite owner wants it, he will most likely (but not always get it)

Most copywrite holders register more than one “version” of their domain names

Let’s take Sear as an example

I am assuming Sears would register the .com, .net, .info, .biz .org etc, etc version of the name Sears and just redirect the site to their main page. Thus rendering the concept of generic top level domains pretty much useless.

But here is my question. What if you decided to register

SearD .com or SearA .com

Hoping that someone would type the “D” or the 'A" and go to your site by error. Thus capitalizing on the person typing the domain in’s error.

Now I will assume Sears would be best to register these “near misses” but as you can see you’d also have to register each version of the near miss too.

So could Sears claim you were using their copywrite. I know they could claim anything but would it hold up?

Have their been cases of that before?

The following are nitpicks, but let’s get them out of the way before going any further:

The word is spelled “copyright”.

You’re not talking about copyrights in any case. You’re talking about trademark. A copyright is for a piece of creative expression like a short story, a song, or a painting. A trademark is for a name used in commerce like “Sears”.
