Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

The applicant law firm quotes from a letter received from OFAC interpreting 560.509 of the ITR/ITSR and 538.514 of the SSR—the copyright-related GLs—as extending to the registration of domain names composed of "existing trademarks." Compare Case No. IA-2013-300346-1, in line with that view but treating a case concerning the renewal of a domain name, rather than an initial registration.
This letter suggests that, as seems clear from the reasoning underlying Case No. IA-2013-300346-1, OFAC regards the initial registration of domain names authorized under copyright GLs when the domain matches a pre-existing trademark.
