Anecdotally they also chased after a consultancy using mitre.com and forced them to give up their domain. The founders had gone to MIT and Rice University and were in a completely different sector but MITRE didn't care.
MITRE's not really a consultancy, but I wouldn't call them a completely unrelated field. Mitre.com now belongs to the soccer ball company so they couldn't have been too tight-fisted with it.
Former employee, but I was thinking the same thing when I saw the story.
Why hello there, I was just about to point out the same fact.
