There are many Inc. with the same, similar or almost identical names.
In the US, Inc. is registered in the states. As a result, Inc. may have the same name in different states. Inc. is not only common in the US, but also in Canada, Australia, Japan, China, India and other countries. Many business executives of Inc. in these countries want the same thing: protect their company name at .inc.
It's like at "Highlander":There can be only one identical name at the domain ending .inc. Because there can only be one identical name at the inc-Domain, quick action is advisable. If registration is possible during the Sunrise Period, you should make use of this option.
