New domains must protect trade marks, says WIPO | The Register
But why are there NO provisions to protect small businesses and/or speech interests in new gTLDs? Why indeed.
New domains must protect trade marks, says WIPO | The Register: "A uniform intellectual property protection mechanism should be established to protect trade marks whenever new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are introduced, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). The recommendation has been made in a report submitted to ICANN, the body that manages the internet’s domain name system, which asked WIPO for expert advice on IP issues involved in the introduction of gTLDs last year."
