Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS)



Open:

15 February 2010


Closed:

1 April 2010

Explanation/Background: The URS is one of the proposed mechanisms to address
trademark protection concerns in the New gTLD Program. This is one of the
open issues being addressed by staff and community experts. The Uniform
Rapid Suspension (URS) Procedure describes an expedited process to provide
trademark holders with a rapid take-down in clear cut instances of trademark
abuse. The URS procedure is expected to provide trademark holders with a
new, cost effective remedy in addition to those available under the UDRP and
applicable law.

TM Clearinghouse



Open:

15 February 2010


Closed:

1 April 2010

Explanation/Background: The trademark clearinghouse is one of the proposed
mechanisms to address trademark protection concerns in the New gTLD Program.
This is one of the open issues being addressed by staff and community
experts. The Trademark Clearinghouse Model describes a proposal for a
central repository of authenticated trademark information for use by
registries to support their sunrise or trademark claims processes. This
Model is designed to introduce efficiencies into the pre-launch processes
for trademark holders and new gTLD registries.
