List of Applied-For New gTLDs Released – Should You File an Objection?

June 28th, 2012 collected by matias

In June, 2011, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved a program to expand the Internet’s Domain Name System through the introduction of new generic Top-Level Domain Names (new gTLDs). See Protecting Your Domain: What You Need to Know About ICANN’S New Top Level Domain Changes. On January 12, 2012, ICANN began accepting applications for new gTLDs by opening an application window, which closed on May 30, 2012.

ICANN has recently published the list of applied-for new gTLDs, which is available at http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results. Brand owners should review the list and should discuss any issues of concern with trademark counsel in an effort to timely and adequately assess whether to file a legal rights objection to a proposed new gTLD.

The objection period for new gTLDs began on June 13, 2012, when the applied-for domain names or strings were posted, and is intended to remain open for approximately seven months (i.e., until January 2013).

After the objection filing period closes, all objections received will move through the dispute resolution process, estimated to take approximately five months, in the absence of extraordinary circumstances.
