The few photography trademarks to have applied for their own domain name extension still do not have found how to use them. If Canon has launched one commercial ".canon" domain name, its major competitor Nikon is still in stand-by. The Sony Trademark, which is not only related to Photography has launched a few initiatives and has 8 ".sony" domains registered as of today.
