How Article 33 Should Be Read! My Dilemma!

 

How Article 33(1) be read with Article 33(2) & (3), I’ll elucidate in the herein underneath paragraphs, as it has been wrongly read Globally.

But I’ve no idea why Article 33 (1) and its subsections (2), (3) are being intertwined WRONGLY!

I’ll explain how!

But here is the conundrum-> That so far, I haven’t used these domain names, nor created any brand’s goodwill associated to any of these domain names. They just parked, lying unused, and I’ve collected these as Stamps.
