Riassunto

An established authority in the field, this work provides comprehensive analysis of the law and practice relating to internet domain names at an international level, combined with a detailed survey of the 36 most important domain name jurisdictions worldwide, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, China, Singapore, Russia, Canada, and Australia, and new chapters on Israel, Mexico, South Korea, Brazil, Colombia, Portugal, and South Africa. The survey includes extensive country-by-country analysis of how domain names relate to existing trade mark law, and upon the developing case law in the field, as well as the alternative dispute resolution procedures.

In its second edition, this work analyses, in depth, key developments in the field including ICANN's new gTLD program. The program, introducing more than 700 new top-level domains, will have far-reaching consequences for brand name industries worldwide and for usage of the internet. The complicated application process is considered in detail as well as filing and review procedures, the delegation process, the role and function of the Trademark Clearing House and the Sunrise and Trademark Claims Services, dispute resolution, and new rights protection mechanisms.

Other developments covered include new registration processes such as the use of privacy and proxy services, as well as the expansion of the scope of internationalized domain names, including the addition of a number of generic top-level domains such as ".tel" and ".travel". Also considered are developments relating to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) in terms of the nature of cases seen under the Policy and the number of cases filed, as well as the recent paperless e-UDRP initiative. The Uniform Rapid Suspension System, working alongside the UDRP in the new gTLD space, is also discussed in a new chapter on this process.

Giving detailed information about the registration of domain names at national, regional and international levels, analysis of the dispute resolution processes at each of those levels, and strategic guidance on how to manage domain names as part of an overall brand strategy, this leading work in international domain name law is essential reading for practitioners in the field.

Recensione:

This book is the leading authority on our contemporary domain name regime. There is no parallel book that provides such an extensive and illuminating inquiry into the procedural and legal aspects of protecting domain names ... This volume is of vital contribution to the study of domain name systems and the general development of law and procedure in interconnected environments. (Lior Zemer, European Intellectual Property Review.)

Systematically examined and clearly stated, the full scope of domain name law is comprehensively covered in this treatise. It is an excellent reference book. (Jane F. Collen, The Trademark Reporter (Vol. 106 No.3))

In glorious, ministerial red linen with delicate gold embossing and navy accents, the traditional cover of this book belies the very modern topic it covers: Domain Names. If you've got a domain law question, this book likely has the answer. (Nicola Searle, IPKat blog)
