Enforcement timelines in domain disputes are getting shorter. Malicious domains can be registered, configured, and operational in hours, but recovering them has historically taken much longer. WIPO has introduced a new expedited UDRP option, designed to deliver decisions in roughly 30 days. For organisations dealing with impersonation domains, recruitment scams, or credential harvesting sites, that change could prove meaningful. Faster decisions can help brands manage the infringing domain, and not the fallout. Our team works with global brands to assess domain disputes and prepare UDRP complaints that align with how panels evaluate these cases. If domain abuse is a concern for your organization, contact us today to discuss recovery and enforcement options ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gZFxHVSn #UDRPExpedited #DomainNames #BrandProtection #Markmonitor #WIPO #UDRP #BrandProtection #DomainRecovery #MarkmonitorGroupExperts

A few early themes emerging from #ICANN85 in Mumbai: This Community Forum saw the first four meetings of the first DNS Abuse PDP, focusing on associated domain checks. Abuse mitigation, accuracy, structural review, and registration data are among the topics being discussed during this week's meeting in Mumbai, while preparation for the next round of new gTLD application window, opening in April, is drawing strong engagement across the community. For organizations managing large corporate domain portfolios, these discussions shape the operational environment in which they manage, secure, and govern their domains, including in their threat monitoring and brand protection efforts. The Markmonitor Group team is here this week, listening closely, contributing operational perspectives from our registrar brands, Com Laude and Markmonitor, and the enterprise side of the ecosystem, and engaging with colleagues across the community to help ensure those perspectives are part of the conversation. Say hello if you see Com Laude Policy Advisor, Sophie Hey, or Susan Payne, Head of Legal Policy, and GNSO Councilor Chair, and schedule time to chat further. Prudence M., Director of Global Industry Relations at Markmonitor, would love to connect with you before leaving India. And introduce yourself to Piyush Varsh, Senior Manager, Revenue Operations, at Markmonitor Group; he’s local to the event and is sure to have a great recommendation for you. If you are interested in applying for a dotBrand gTLD or determining the feasibility of your brand’s potential application, make a point to speak with Stuart Fuller, SVP, Commercial, and Ashley Roberts, Head of New TLD Consultancy, both of Markmonitor Group. More discussions ahead as we head into the final days of #ICANN85. #ICANN #ICANNCommunity #DNS #dotBrand #CorporateDomainNameRegistrar #ComLaude #Markmonitor #TeamMarkmonitorGroup #MarkmonitorGroupExperts #DomainPolicy #DomainGovernance #DomainNameSecurity

Emma Stone’s Super Bowl ad last month sparked a conversation about something brand owners deal with every day: the reality of domain availability. In the ad, the search for emmastone(dot)com reveals that the domain is already registered. It’s a simple storyline that reflects a much bigger issue: online identity is shaped by who controls the domains associated with a name or brand. For organizations, this underscores the importance of a proactive domain strategy. Securing the right domains early, monitoring for conflicts, and maintaining control of key registrations are essential to protecting brand presence and trust online. With the next ICANN round for new top-level domains opening on April 30th, the opportunity for brands to operate their own namespace will be here soon, and for a limited window of time. Owning a dotBrand is a strategic way to strengthen control and visibility across the domain ecosystem for your brand. Read more in Stuart Fuller’s latest blog post ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gC3_wYbf
