Abstract

Abstract Pursuant to the Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) implemented in the course of the New gTLD Program, registry operators of the new gTLDs are required to provide certain services designed to avoid the registration of domain names by potential trademark infringers. These RPMs include a Sunrise Registration Service, which affords trademark owners the ability to pre-emptively register domain names before registration becomes generally available. Furthermore, the Trademark Claims Service requires registry operators to notify registrants and trademark owners if the registrant applies for registration of a domain name which is identical to another’s trademark.
