If I was MaxMind, I’d also be filing an ICANN trademark claim to takeover control of that domain from you.

It takes longer time through ICANN. Ceast and desist is the cheaper and faster way.

Cease and desist does not result in control of GEOIP.APP, but is absolutely useful as a stopgap while the ICANN paperwork goes through.

I wonder why they haven't done anything about geoip.com

Because it was registered four years before their trademark, and thus they have no right to it:

GEOIP.COM
