Download or read book Internet Domain Names Trademarks and Free Speech written by Jacqueline D. Lipton and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first form of truly rivalrous digital property, Internet domain names raise many challenges for law and policy makers. Analyzing the ways in which past disputes have been decided by courts and arbitrators, Jacqueline Lipton offers a comprehensive, global examination of the legal, regulatory and policy issues that will shape the future of Internet domain name governance. This comprehensive examination of domain name disputes involving personal names and political and cultural issues sheds light on the need to balance trademark policy, free speech and other pressing interests such as privacy and personality rights. The author stresses that because domain names can only be registered to one person at a time, they create problems of scarcity not raised by other forms of digital assets. Also discussed are the kinds of conflicts over domain names that are not effectively addressed by existing regulations, as well as possible regulatory reforms. Internet Domain Names, Trademarks and Free Speech brings pivotal new insights to bear in intellectual property and free speech discourse. As such, policymakers, scholars and students of intellectual property, cyber law, computer law, constitutional law, and e-commerce law will find it a valuable resource.

Download or read book The Clash Between Trade Mark Law and Freedom of Speech in Cyberspace written by Eugene Lim and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper seeks to explore the tensions between traditional trade mark law and the regulation of Internet domain names in cyberspace. It will evaluate the terms of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), which was adopted by the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") in 1999 to settle disputes between trade mark proprietors and domain name registrants. It will be argued that the UDRP in its present form unfairly favours trade mark proprietors by expanding the scope of traditional trade mark law, and fails to adequately protect the right of Internet users to engage in ordinary discourse and communication. The paper will conclude with a number of suggestions for the amendment of the UDRP, so as to better balance the myriad interests of an increasingly diverse global Internet community, and to promote the development of a more coherent normative framework for the resolution of domain name disputes.

Download or read book Fifteen Years of Fame written by Jude A. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domain name disputes have been the subject of substantial litigation, legislative action, and scholarly debate over the course of the past fifteen years. Much of the debate is the product of disagreement concerning whether trademark rights naturally extend into the domain name space and to what extent those rights are limited by principles of free speech. Gripe sites are paradigmatic examples of this debate. Society's investment in defining these rights continues to grow, even as the relevance of domain names may be declining, due to: (1) changes in the way users locate content on the Internet; (2) the growth of social media and its consequent de-emphasis on top level domain names; and (3) the dilution of the domain name space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the development of Nigeria’s intellectual property law and outlines the urgent need for reform. Bringing together expert contributors from around the world, the book identifies and discusses the inadequacies and lacunas in current intellectual property law, and how it is practiced and applied in Nigeria. The book argues that the revision and reform of Nigeria’s intellectual property law will be vital for the country’s development and national interests, whilst also recognising that Nigeria’s legal provisions must sit within a broader global context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Domain Name System (DNS), which matches computer addresses to human-friendly domain names, has given rise to many legal issues.
