We are in the midst of an historic expansion of internet domain names with more than 1200 new generic top-level domains (鈥済TLDs鈥) now competing with <.com>.听This 5000% increase in gTLDs is the biggest change to the internet's domain naming system in thirty years (and more are coming soon!).听Accompanying these new gTLDs, are new and innovative--but little known--IP rights protection mechanisms. These developments could have a profound impact on the rights of IP owners, domain name registrants, and the public, and on the architecture of the internet.
