are
in the midst of an historic expansion of internet domain
names with more than
1200 new generic top-level domains (“gTLDs”) now competing
with
<.com>. This 5000% increase in gTLDs is the biggest
change to the
internet's domain naming system in thirty years (and more
are coming soon!). Accompanying
these new gTLDs, are new and innovative--but little
known--IP rights protection
mechanisms. These developments could have a profound impact
on the rights of IP
owners, domain name registrants, and the public, and on the
architecture of the
internet.</span></i><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(64,64,64)"></span></p>
