The Internet is constantly changing and evolving. ICANN has introduced a new program where a party can register for a new gTLD (generic top-level domain). A top level domain is the part of a domain name located to the right of the . (dot). In our domain name trademarklawesq.com the top level domain is the .com. Each company participating in the new ICANN program is developing their own marketing strategy of either registering their own brand, a geographic indicator, a community or industry name or a general category of goods such as .clothing or .voyage. This will bring new challenges for trademark owners. The laws that govern aspects of the Internet are also in flux.
