The Trademark Lawyer Magazine talks to Corporation Service Company about the coming changes and its acquisition of the brand services of Melbourne IT.
Just over 1900 new generic top-level domain (gTLD) applications had been received by ICANN (or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) as of March 2013. From city names to interests to brand names, you can get a flavor of the gTLD strings already applied for on ICANN’s website.
As Jim Stoltzfus, Vice President at Corporation Service Company (CSC), puts it: “We are on the eve of the next significant evolution for online real estate. The new gTLDs are going to give organizations much more flexibility about how they manage their brands online.”
