The biggest change to Internet domains names in 26 years is almost here and with it comes challenges for trademark owners.
By the end of June, ICANN will publish the list of all the new domains applied for as part of its new Top Level Domain (TLD) program – which has been described as innovative and problematic in equal measure. Despite the controversy, more than 1,500 new TLD applications are expected to be announced.
The scale of this change in the Internet naming system means all trademark owners – whether they have applied for a new gTLD or not – need to be aware if an application infringes their legal rights or dilutes their business interests. But with a limited window to comment or object to an application, trademark owners will need to move quickly.
What should brand and trademark owners be looking for? What is the correct course of action after “reveal day”?
Join us on this webinar to learn about:
- Timeline for free comments and objections filing
- What to look for in an application to decipher the risks
- What is the process and how to file an objection
- How to handle objections made against your application(s)
