Domain names play a special role in the intellectual property ecosystem. Following the recent ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) meeting that took place in Kobe, Japan, this episode goes back to the basics and reveals what’s hot in this area and the opportunities created by new technologies. Both law firm and brand owner perspectives are presented in this discussion with two leaders of the INTA Internet Committee and renowned experts and players in the domain name area. Paul McGrady, the Committee’s Chair, is a partner at the law firm Taft Law in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in trademarks, domain names, social media and privacy. He is the author of several publications, including the book “McGrady on Domain Names” (LexisNexis). Todd Williams, the Committee’s Co-Vice Chair, is Assistant General Counsel at Turner Broadcasting, in New York, which owns more than 100 news and entertainment networks, including CNN. Todd has been involved in domain name advocacy for years.
Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.
Brand & New is a production of the International Trademark Association
