August 6th, 2008 - Internet liberalization: opportunities and challenges for IP owners

Managing IP will host a free web seminar, in association with Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services covering Internet liberalization: opportunities and challenges for IP owners on August 6th at 10 AM EDT / 3 PM BST / 4 PM CEST. Register for free here

Last month, ICANN approved plans to open up the top-level domain space to a broader range of applicants. There are predictions the decision could lead to hundreds of new gTLDs being launched, bringing a risk of cybersquatting to IP owners.

This web seminar will look at the reality of the announcement and the gTLD application process. Our panel of experts, from Yahoo! Inc. DotAsia, Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services and other thought leaders, will provide advice on how trade mark owners can protect their rights in TLDs, as well as consider the opportunities the changes represent.
