Head over there if you want to give them your thoughts. … [Read more...] about Irish Internet Association Boss Clarifies Position on Squatting

Trademark Infringement Is Due To Negligence

August 23, 2007 by Michele Neylon

What do Bebo and Adidas have in common?At first glance, probably very little, however they've both fallen prey to an Irish based domain squatting operation based in Dublin's Digital Hub.Gabor Varga seems to think that he is a legitimate businessman, whereas trademark holders and their legal teams would probably have a very different view of his activities. In fact, if the WIPO … [Read more...] about Trademark Infringement Is Due To Negligence

Privacy – US vs EU Perspectives

July 18, 2007 by Michele Neylon

A few days ago I posted about the state of the EU. This was prompted in part by the first part of John's excellent study into the .eu namespace and activity therein and partially by Eurid's latest promotional campaign. My post here may have gone unnoticed, but shortly after it appeared on CircleID Jay Westerdal posted on his blog. While I agree with the thrust of his post ie. … [Read more...] about Privacy – US vs EU Perspectives

Google vs EUBrowser

June 10, 2007 by Michele Neylon

I've been following the antics of EUBrowser for some time now, but I almost missed the Google domains! John, luckily, spotted that little move. I didn't spot the handover, as the domains were subject to a UDRP that was cancelled, so no decision was published. To date we've seen only a handful of their domains being moved back to the holders of the intellectual property that … [Read more...] about Google vs EUBrowser

.EU Deletions Uncovered

June 4, 2007 by Michele Neylon

The first anniversary of .eu has come and gone and with it many EU domains have ceased to exist. At the beginning of last month I was wondering how many EU domains would drop off the 'net completely and it now seems that the number was in excess of 250k. John speculates that a lot of the domains that were not renewed were purely speculative registrations, however he also … [Read more...] about .EU Deletions Uncovered

AU Deregulation Bad?

May 30, 2007 by Michele Neylon

One of the strongest selling points of a regulated ccTLD is security and peace of mind. What that translates into in practice is that there is a slightly higher degree of control over who gets to register domains. In Ireland, for example, the IEDR has been able to vaunt the IE ccTLD due to its positive results in a recent McAfee siteadvisor survey. The same study gave a very … [Read more...] about AU Deregulation Bad?

EUrid Code of Conduct – Legislating The Obvious?

April 3, 2007 by Michele Neylon

I mentioned on my main blog some of the shenanigans at the EUrid session at ICANN in Lisbon. What I failed to mention was the much talked about code of conduct. (The temptation to make snide remarks about the choice of domain is strong, but I shall resist!) I would apologise for that oversight, however that would be hypocritical. I'm not sorry that I didn't mention it … [Read more...] about EUrid Code of Conduct – Legislating The Obvious?

EUBrowser Lose Second UDRP Adidas.ie – The Floodgates may have opened

February 15, 2007 by Michele Neylon

I mentioned only a couple of weeks ago the UDRP decision against EUBrowser (Gabor Varga and Jozsef Petho) for buy-sell.ie. In that first UDRP the complaint was lodged by a relatively small Irish company, whereas in this case the stakes were higher: Adidas AG and Adidas (Ireland) Limited v. Gabor Varga and Jozsef Petho Some references to other domains that the pair have … [Read more...] about EUBrowser Lose Second UDRP Adidas.ie – The Floodgates may have opened

EUBrowser Loses UDRP – buy-sell.ie

February 6, 2007 by Michele Neylon

While browsing the WIPO archives I came across a decision that caught my attention: B & S Limited v. Gabor Varga and Jozsef Petho Although I'm subscribed to the daily newsletter I must have missed that one which was published back in January. Gabor Varga and Jozsef Petho have registered a very large number of IE domains over the past year or so and while some of them may be … [Read more...] about EUBrowser Loses UDRP – buy-sell.ie

Where are all the domains?

February 6, 2007 by Michele Neylon

If you were to give a cursory glance at the top list on WebHosting.info you would have to be forgiven for not thinking that there are some very odd patterns: A disproportionate number of the nameservers listed would appear to belong to domain parking companies, while the remainder would probably have a large percentage of "parked" domains as well. While there is nothing … [Read more...] about Where are all the domains?
