The Impact of New Generic Top Level Domains on Trademarks
AbstractThis paper deals with issues involved with the introduction of new generic top level Internet domain names. It assesses whether the impact has been positive or whether introduction of the new TLDs has had an adverse impact on trademarks. The author concludes that despite the shortcomings that may plague the introduction of the new TLD categories, it cannot be denied that the creation of new DN will help relieve current scarcities for "good" names. The creation of choice and diversity supports the belief that the Internet should be an open system available to all. |
