Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I hired an attorney to file an application for a mark, and without going into all the gory details, Victoria’s Secret objected to my mark as being too similar to theirs when I had it published for opposition.
I have filed marks with the USPTO before and never had a problem with a big company like Victoria’s Secret even paying attention. There are plenty of other marks with the word PINK in them that have been registered successfully. My thoughts are that because I had an attorney file the mark really drew the attention from a huge company because an attorney was doing the filing. If I had filed the mark it probably would have never been opposed.
Am I right or wrong in my thinking? These big corporations most likely review the marks that attorneys are filing, mostly because someone has the money to pay an attorney to do the work and would be more likely to have funds to market their mark afterwords.

I get a strong sense that most people in this section are dogmatists, automatically and mindlessly agreeing with everything their party or ideology says, with conclusions coming first and rationalization and debate being afterthoughts.
I’m curious how many of us can identify a major area of disagreement with our stated affiliated party or other political labels. Any conservatives support abortion rights, or gay rights? Any liberals in opposition to affirmative action, or back a flat tax? How many of us here aren’t dogmatists? 🙂
(For my own part, I consider myself left-leaning, and a staunch Democrat. Off the top of my head, I oppose the organics movement, I consider myself an environmentalist but reject conservationalism as a solution, I think public education could strongly benefit from decentralization, competition and vouchers, and I regard affirmative action as institutionalized bigotry.)

Is Japan part of a bloc?
Does Japan share similar views with any countries?
Does Japan have any affiliations to any military organizations?
If so, what are its relationships with these organizations?
What is the size of its weapon arsenal?
Is Japan affiliated with any environmental organizations?
Which country is Japan’s major opposition?
