I agree with your conclusion, but the point I am making is that both Vivendi Universal (a multinational media group, Vivendi is a French media company that bought out Universal studios) and Phillips are trademarks, capable of distinguishing the products marked as such in *any* language, whereas sucks, although being widely understood in its slang sense, is still an English language word that may not necessarily be understood at all.
For example, a doctor in Karachi or Chang Mai may recognise that his TV is made by Phillips, but may have no idea what "sucks" means. One navigating the internet, he may come across the domain name PhillipsSucks and believe "sucks" to be a new Phillips product. Who are we, as native English speakers, to say different?
