Famous Names List is a must |
Message: |
|
With the proposed additional gTLDs the policing costs for famous trademark owners
will go through the roof as long as the "gold rush" mentality continues to pervade
the domain name market. These spiraling costs will be passed on to the consumers.
There will be litigation with or without a "famous names list," but it will be
significantly reduced with the creation of the list. If there is no list, registrants
may freely register famous names (or variations thereof) and the only remedy for
famous mark owners is to litigate or arbitrate to get the names back. At least
with the list there is notice to cybersquatters and some limitations to reduce the
policing costs to famous mark owners.
