The Economic Framework and snapshots can be downloaded via here.

Try not to be cynical: this is about giving people who missed out on registering their domain name in .com (or wherever) a chance to get their preferred domain name; it is not about creating ways for registrars to generate more fees or .., Provigil samples.

The potential benefits of new gTLDs to Internet users are that they may provide competition to existing gTLDs, where can i buy cheapest Provigil online, Provigil price, add differentiation and new products that are valuable to consumers, and/or relieve congestion problems caused by having only a few gTLDs.


Notwithstanding 2 waves of new gTLDs, online buy Provigil without a prescription, Order Provigil online c.o.d, 73% of domain names registered in "open" gTLDs are still registered in .com (which accounts for only 6.3% of all domain names).

Where can i buy Provigil online, How many people can register "coca-cola" anyway.

Apparently, purchase Provigil online, Buy cheapest Provigil, one fifth of survey respondents who registered in .biz or .info or .name had not previously registered a domain name and 55% claimed to have registered a different domain name to names registered in a pre-existing gTLD. However, buy Provigil in canada, Provigil over the counter, looking at duplicate domain names registered in more than 1 open gTLD:

but:

only 11 percent of the overlapping .info and .com names were registered to the same owner, buy Provigil without a prescription. Buy Provigil No Prescription, For .biz and .com overlap, the percentage registered to the same owner was higher, 42 percent.


A different study by Zittrain and Edelman based on a sample of 823 names registered in both .biz and .com estimated about 20-30% were registered to the same person. Buy no prescription Provigil online, About half of the registrations in .info and .biz were inactive, while 15% simply redirected to another website, buy Provigil no prescription.

Would Canon give up canon.com, order Provigil. Provigil from canadian pharmacy, Who searches that way anyway.

On the negative side, online buying Provigil, Where can i find Provigil online, the Economic Framework reports an estimate of legal costs for UDRP proceedings in the order of US$1.58 million which "suggests that the external costs associated with cyber-squatting in new gTLDs would be low", although the study does acknowledge that there would be an increase in costs having regard to steps taken outside the UDRP, purchase Provigil online no prescription.

The Framework also reports on a fascinating study about "typosquatting". Apparently, about 80% of the sample misspelt domain names resolved to pay-per-click advertising sites.

Levying execution against a domain name

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a district court ruling in which a creditor of John Zuccarini successfully levied execution against a domain name held in Mr  Zuccarini's name. Mr Zuccarini, sometimes known as Cupcake Patrol and other "colourful" noms de plume, may be familiar to those of you around in the "old" days of the UDRP from the frequency in which he appeared as a respondent. Venkat, in a guest post on Professor Goldman's Technology and Marketing blog, highlights, the Ninth Circuit's ruling permitted execution on the basis of the location of the domain name registrar. So, if your client has registered his/her/its domain name through a US registrar, the domain name could be at risk if your client becomes embroiled in a dispute with someone who has access to the US legal system.

boohoo.com v missboo.co.uk

Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Warren J has granted an interim injunction to Wasabi Frog restraining until trial the operation of an online clothing retailer. Wasabi Frog has traded since 2006 as an online retailer of young women's fashion at Boo Hoo and Boohoo.com. It also has CTMs for BOO HOO, BOOHOO.COM and BOO. missboo.co.uk started up in September 2009 as an online retailer of women's fashion, targetting the same demographic: 17 to 25 year olds. His Lordship found a triable issue on likelihood of confusion on the basis of a number of factors. One involved another player in the fashion industry apparently mistaking the applicant for the defendant. Interestingly, another was the inferences to be drawn by traffic that Wasabi Frog generated after purchasing the Google Ad Words "Miss Boo". Other aspects considered included the similarities in the respective companies' websites and the "very very savvy" target markets of both companies. Damages were clearly not an adequate remedy for Wasabi Frog, all the more so as the defendant was impecunious. Wasabi Frog Ltd v Miss Boo Ltd [2009] EWHC 2767 (Ch) Lid dip: Peter A Clarke

Google’s sale of keywords could be trade mark use

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Well, strictly speaking, the 2nd Circuit in the USA has held that Google's sale of keywords may be use in commerce. Rescuecom had sued Google for trademark infringement by selling advertisements (sponsored links) triggered by Rescuecom's trademark. The District Court had dismissed the claim on the grounds that Google's conduct was not use in commerce. So now it goes back to the District Court. Of course, Google's conduct, if were done in Australia or transacted with a business located in Australia, would be in trade or commerce for the purposes of the Trade Practices Act. In context, however, the nearest analogue under our law is whether or not the conduct might be "use as a trade mark" (in the sense of using the sign in the course of trade) for the purposes of s 120 of the Trade Marks Act. Professor Goldman considers the ramifications under US law (and the distinguishing of WhenU) here.

Domain names and regulatory requirements

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
If the (US) FDA requires you to include information about the risks of using your drug and Google's AdSense has a 95 character limit, what do you do? Prof. Manara explores how companies, particularly pharmaceutical companies, are using domain names to ensure that their online presence doesn't contravene regulatory requirements such as FDA requirements to include information about risks in materials advertising drugs.

WIPO UDRP annual report

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
WIPO's annual report summarising developments in domain name disputes for 2008 has been published here. The headline attracting news around the world:

a record 2,329 complaints filed

Interestingly,

the WIPO Center has received 14,663 UDRP or UDRP-based cases (gTLDs and ccTLDs), covering 26,262 separate domain names. Reflecting the truly global scope of this dispute mechanism, named parties to WIPO cases represented over 100 countries in 2008 alone. The United States of America (US), France, the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Switzerland and Spain were the most frequent bases for complainants, while the US, the UK, China, Spain, Canada, and France were the most represented countries by named respondent party

and

almost 30% of all cases were settled without a panel decision. Of the remainder, 85% of the panel decisions favored the complainant, while 15% of the complaints were denied, leaving the names in the possession of the registration holder. Cases were handled by 285 WIPO panelists from 40 countries.

There are also short notes on what sectors were affected, and further developments in the domain name space.

A scientific approach to typosquatting

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008
Typosquatting can occur when someone registers a misspelling of your domain name in the hope that your customers will mistype the domain name in their web browser and land on that someone's website. (Apparently, a significant portion of people who do so then click on a link on the typosquatted website, thus generating pay per click advertising revenues for the site 'squatter'.) Apart from the potential diversion of custom, FairWinds Partners also makes the point that typosquatting can harm the reputation of the brand.  As an example they speculate about the impact on Disney's customers if they landed on a typosquatted page promoting pornography. Recognising that it is not feasible to register every possible variation of your domain name to defend against such practices, FairWinds Partners have published a attempt to analyse typosquatting scientifically. The study looked at 3,000 top level domains that had more than 2,000,000 hits per month.  From this universe, they found that most typosquatting appears to fall into 1 of 10 categories.  They also concluded that the typosquatters were targetting domain names fairly scientifically. Apart from typosquatting, FairWinds Partners notes that consideration should be given to registering the domain name in other tlds -  e.g. consider .biz and .net, not just .com; also consider country specific domains. This, however, is already problematic - there are already 21 gTLDS, not to mention of the country specific ccTLDS such as .com.au and .co.uk etc.  And its going to get much worse with ICANN, in the interests of competition and diversity no less, planning to allow a potentially unlimited number of tlds. Download the paper here (pdf). Other research suggests that about 10% of internet searches don't land on their expected destination (Lid dip Marty).

A different Chrome IP issue

Saturday, September 6th, 2008
For those of you wondering what Google Chrome is all about, David Pogue does an excellent review and Google, of course, has pretty good explanatory materials including a comic. Something your brand owners may want to start thinking about is the new monoline address/search bar: you type in a word and Chrome starts suggesting a range of alternatives.  See an example and watch the video here. Nothing to worry about, perhaps, if you type in coke and get taken here but what happens if the top suggestion takes you here (takes forever to load)? This brings up the trade mark/IP issues Marty Schwimmer spotted emerging in Japan here. Oh, that other, EULA issue here, there and everywhere else too.
