A federal judge has agreed to modify a court order that requires Networks Solutions Inc. — the company that assigns Internet domain names — not only to un-register a name that violated a trademark, but also screen future applications to avoid ever assigning a similar name.

This would place an unreasonable burden on NSI without its consent.”
