Trademark Enforcement for the WWW (a.k.a. Wild, Wild Web) Strategies, Trends and Controversies
Format: Recorded seminar
Synopsis: Domain names and trademarks are increasingly in conflict on the Internet. While many uses on the Internet are legitimate, there are also an growing number of activities that involve infringement of trademark rights. This situation is further complicated by the explosive growth and anonymous nature of the Internet overall.

We invite you to join us as Paul McGrady of Greenberg Traurig and author of "McGrady on Domain Names" helps us navigate the Wild, Wild Web.

Dot ASIA Sunrise - Overview, Strategies & Best Practices
Format: Recorded seminar
Synopsis: If you have business interests in Asia or are considering expanding into Asian markets, this CSC Web Seminar Series will be the perfect opportunity to learn what you need to know about securing your corporate identity during the launch of the new .ASIA domain name extension commencing October 9, 2007.

Don't Lose Your Brand in an Auction!

The launch of this new domain name extension is expected to be particularly challenging for brand holders. For the first time, launch rules call for the online auction of names in situations where multiple parties with valid trademark rights have applied for the same .Asia domain name (potential example, abc.asia). Since virtually any nationally registered trademark is an eligible trademark for the .Asia pre-registration period reserved for those who have existing legal rights to a name (often referred to as the Sunrise Registration), competition among trademark holders and registered corporate entities will be fierce and only the fully informed will be in the best position to protect their corporate identity in this historic launch.

A Closer Look at the Pre-verification Process for .Asia
Format: Recorded seminar
Synopsis: During the launch of the .EU domain name extension, many established brand holders were unable to secure domain names during the trademark registration period, often referred to as Sunrise registration, because their trademark information was not presented in the very precise format required or failed to meet one of the eligibility criteria. This situation not only caused tremendous frustration, but also resulted in brand holders having to spend countless hours and budget dollars recovering key brand names from cybersquatters after the launch.

To avoid the perils of .EU, brand holders have the option during the launch of .Asia to submit their trademark information to Deloitte for Pre-verification to ensure they meet all the format and eligibility requirements prior to submitting their .Asia domain name application during Sunrise registration.
