In many countries, company names are unique to that country. And combined with country TLDs controlled by the nation-state itself, it'd be possible for at least barclays.co.uk to be provably owned by the UK bank itself when a EV cert is presented by the domain.

In the US though, every state has it's own registry, and names overlap without the power of trademark protection applying to markets your company is not in.
