ICANN and the new generic Top-Level Domains (new gTLDs)
Washington College of Law, Feb 25, 2019, 1:30 - 5:30 pm EST.
Editor's note: Accompanying ICANN's expansion of the internet's top-level domains (TLDs)--adding more than 1200 new generic top-level domains (“gTLDs”) to the internet's DNS (domain name system)--are new intellectual property (IP) rights protection mechanisms (RPMs), which may have a profound impact on the rights of IP owners, domain name registrants, and the public, and change the internet itself, see e.g., Copyright Law Versus Internet Culture | eff.org.AGENDA:
