|
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 |
|
The panel in Rick Schwartz’s well-publicized SaveMe.com case slapped the complainant with a deserved finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RNDH).

ICANN confirms new gTLD batching system will be open for business, Digital Archery set to kick off |
|
Thursday, 07 June 2012 |
|
In an official announcement, ICANN has confirmed that Digital Archery aka Batching Process will begin June 8th, 2012 (tomorrow). The batching process will determine which new gTLD applications are going to be processed in the first batch, the second batch, etc. It will be done by assignment of a timestamp, and the formation of batches. According to ICANN, the batching system is targeted to open on June 8th 2012 at 00:01 UTC. The system will close at 23:59 UTC on June 28 2012, in other words it will be open for business for around three weeks. The target date for posting the order of the batches is July 11, 2012. The announcement will be eagerly awaited. ICANN says that they have tried to provide a stable and secure platform for the batching system to be effective. Users will connect to the Citrix XenApp high-availability cluster and will then log into the batching system to complete the process. ICANN has also posted several additional Digital Archery resources on it’s website to inform applicants about the batching process. The newly available material includes a FAQ, video demo of the system, user guide, batching details and rules, and a fact sheet of batching basics. Information on security, infrastructure, and operations is also available in these newly released materials. Read more: |

Domain world set to explode, brand owners must pay attention says IP lawyer |
|
Thursday, 07 June 2012 |
|
Josh Jarvis, an associate with Foley Hoag LLP, who personally specializes in intellectual property matters and domain related issues such as UDRP’s, says that next week ICANN’s reveal day presents an early opportunity for various companies, organizations and brand owners to identify potential benefits and risks associated with the 1,900+ proposed new gTLD applications. All companies should be actively planning to review the gTLD list upon publication to determine whether they should comment on, object to, or register second-level domains in one or more of the various new generic top level domains that we may see going live sometime in early 2013.

In an eagerly anticipated confirmation from the domain world and tech community, ICANN has now officially announced that at a special news conference to be held on the original target date of June 13th 2012, they will finally unveil the gTLD applicants and strings. The “big reveal” as everybody is calling it, will finally shed some light on which city’s/regions, companies/brands, various organizations, domain registry startups, and others have applied for .whatever under the new gTLDs program. The big reveal for the applied Generic Top-Level domain names (gTLD’s) will mark a milestone in the history of the internet according to ICANN.

|
Thursday, 05 April 2012 |
|
Apple does usually not care about owning the domain name for new products that are announced and or about to be launched, but in the past has then later acquired some of the names. Now it appears they are planning to launch the iPanel in the fourth quarter of this year – a combined TV Internet device. As luck would have it, Marchex (MCHX), owns ipanel.com, a currently parked domain and optimized for dating, which appears to have been purchased with the original Ultimate Search portfolio back in 2005.
