Even the most pessimistic New gTLD Program critic did not expect such uninspiring results. It was a wake up call for many in the domain industry. The New gTLD Program currently lacks credibility. ... read more ...

And to do so at much reduced prices. Premium names before TLDs Reduced prices? Really? This is where eyebrows start being raised. How so? Well before the advent of new gTLDs, few suffixes offered any real ability to differentiate. Users thus looked to the second level, not the top level, for a way to get their web addresses to stand out ... read more ...

Are Top-level Domains Property? - On December 28, the Justice Department filed an amicus brief in Weinstein v. Islamic Republic of Iran, a case pending before the D.C. Circuit. At issue is whether country-code top-level domains are the property of those countries’ foreign governments. In 2002, a district court found Iran liable for its role in a 1996 terrorist bombing in Jerusalem. The family of one of the victims, Susan Weinstein, brought the suit against Iran and, following the 2003 entry of default judgment, the Weinsteins ... read more ...

Do You Own Any New gTLD Domain Names? - The new gTLD domain name program continues to be one of the most polarizing topics in the domain space. It seems that there are passionate people who feel strongly for or against the new gTLD domain names. There are now over 11 million registered new gTLD domain names.

The Uniform Rapid Suspension System – ICANN’s fast-track domain name … - ICANN’s Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) seeks to offer trademark holders a quick and cost-effective way of tackling infringing domain names.

However, the high burden of proof in the URS and the limited extent of its jurisdiction mean that the UDRP will continue to be the appropriate forum in many cases. The expansion of gTLDs and the risk to ... read more ...
