Any interest in .financial? - Brand protection is a key issue for many businesses and is of particular significance for consumer-facing brands. We look at the importance of brand protection in domain names, the launch of the .financial generic top level domain (gTLD) and the steps businesses can take to protect their brand. What’s changed?

Internet wordt steeds drukker en er worden ook steeds meer domeinnamen aangevraagd. Het is daardoor steeds moeilijker om een goede domeinnaam te bedenken. Wie in Utrecht bijvoorbeeld in Google zoekt naar een taxicentrale in Utrecht vindt al snel taxistadutrecht.nl, taxiutrecht.nl, cheap-taxi-utrecht.nl en taxi-centrale-midland.nl.

BRASILE – AMAZON 1-0 nella competizione per i gTLD - E’ notizia di qualche giorno fa che l’ICANN, accogliendo il parere del GAC, ha rifiutato la domanda di Amazon per il gTLD .amazon. Prima di comprenderne le ragioni, può essere utile chiarire il significato di questi acronimi nonché alcuni concetti necessari a districarsi nella “Rete”.

A Word’s Worth: Contention Sets and New gTLD Auctions - Depending on the person, the word auction can bring to mind a dusty, hot structure full of livestock and a fast-talking announcer with a Western lilt to his voice or a cool, quiet room of well-dressed art patrons waiting for the next Impressionist masterpiece to be unveiled in a stately building on the Upper East Side.Aside from applicants for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and those in the ICANN community, most people probably don’t think of auctions as a way to resolve what are essentially ... read more ...
