Should Geographical Indications (GIs) have protection commensurate with trademarks in the Domain Name System (DNS)? Recent European Union legislation, extending the protection of GIs to use within the DNS, and the upcoming ICANN Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) Review have created urgency around the issue. Many in the GI and brand communities argue that a framework is necessary to ensure consistency in protection and to safeguard legitimate user and consumer interests. How will governments, brands, and the domain industry manage this issue? Our panelists will discuss the goals, challenges, and possible solutions when balancing GI and trademark protection in the DNS.
