<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(153,51,102)">I consider it to be a rather unfortunate truth that an application for a famous brand which is also a “generic” word is going to lose out in this new gTLD environment anyway. For example, “Coach” lost in the
2012 round. I don’t know if they ended up paying big money for the “generic” or not. There is nothing that gives a famous brand priority over generic terms. Based on 2012, it’s the opposite.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(153,51,102)">An improvement in this round would be to apply priority for registered marks that are well-known. Well-known marks get protection in almost all countries around the world even if not registered. Though I am
doubtful we could develop sufficient consensus to change what happened in 2012 on that one. (RPMs were a “suite” of protective mechanisms involving various compromises.)

give more attention to the regions and rivers that are named and that is good for tourism!. Maybe Work Track 5 is coming up with some standard Public Interest terms that could be adopted to accommodate governmental interests when regions and rivers are

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">I might misinterpret your suggestion – but you are saying there are no generic term based applications such as “smart”, “visa” or “discovery” have a Spec 13 in
their contract? (I checked these three – and they seem to have a Spec 13 in their contracts – I assume when checking all the other generic keyword based applications the same will occur).<br>
<br>
And well: You need to register with the TM Clearinghouse: easy thing to do; the hurdles for that are very low (I have done TMCH applications for trademarks). Plus I am taking about a “real brand” – albeit a small one. So a small shoe brand “SHANGHAI” will easily
meet all requirements for a spec 13. In my mind – please correct me if I am wrong.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Respectfully, your analysis is incorrect. While trademarks are local (state), national, or international (EU marks, Benelux marks) in nature there are protections
for trademarks found in International law, e.g. the Paris Convention. I wouldn’t expect anyone in this WG to know that other than the trademark attorneys who participate, so good you brought it up so that I could set the record straight. Your second notion,
that trademarks are limited to corresponding goods/services is mostly true (except in jurisdictions that recognize the doctrine of dilution for the protection of famous marks. This would be a more interesting point if gTLD registry applications came with
restrictions, i.e. that an applicant made it clear that they have applied for .apple to run an apple farm and that they pledge in advance that there will be no second level registrations that would contain terms or could be used to infringe the APPLE mark
(for example, no ability to register computer.apple or use store.apple to sell electronics). Those restrictions would then be incorporated in PICS and brand owners could enforce against registries accordingly. However, ICANN has put no use requirements in
place for applicants to agree to, so until they do, we have to take a broad view of trademark rights in order to protect consumers from confusion and malicious activities.

defined set of goods and services. The “APPLE” TM doesn’t protect “APPLE” – it protects the USAGE (and in commerce only!) of “APPLE” for branding computers, laptops, etc! Of 100% of goods and services globally this protects just a few dozen out of hundreds
of millions of potential use cases. It’s an INCREDIBLE narrow defined protection. There could be literally MILLIONS of trademarks “APPLE” globally - peacefully living in coexistence. But there can only be ONE gTLD “.apple”.<u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Putting 1 and 2 together I think we might have to rethink spec 13 altogether. At BARE MINIMUM spec 13 should NOT be available for geo-name-based and generic dictionary
keyword-based strings. There is neither a global right to such string, nor one that extends over ALL goods and ALL services. These need to be “available for the general public”.<br>
<br>
It is perfectly legal to register (and enforce its protection) “APPLE” for computers and laptops. But always at your own risk! And new gTLDs are such “risk”. You wanted a “catchy” brand – and used a common keyword. Fine. Just don’t try to hijack that keyword
on global level of the DNS. It is NOT “yours” – you are merely allowed to “use” it. (using APLLE here only as example – and I will exonerate APPLE in the next paragraph).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Spec 13 makes a certain sense – just not for geo names and dictionary terms. If somebody feels the urge and need to “block” such (generic or geo based) gTLD
– they need to meet a certain standard. And a US $299 TM registration doesn’t meet ANY standard. We need to have much higher hurdles – like ACTIVELY USED Trademarks in at least 50 countries aged 5 years or older for example. That would be no problem for the
APPLEs, ORANGEs or MANGOs in this world. But just only a “Trademark registration” “SHANGHAI” in one or two jurisdictions? Why empowering them to block the identity of a 24 Million community (in fact larger than 2/3 of all countries globally)?<br>
<br>
I am not “anti-brand”: I think large scale brands have the potential to create an IMMENSE visibility for new gTLDs (if after SEVEN YEARS of application they would finally start to make active use of their TLDs). I just want to avoid that tiny players abuse
the protections we are installing for big players. This btw protects also the big players! So I WANT that .apple is with APPLE, Inc – because that is PRECISELY what the Internet user assumes it should be! I just would find it very sad if a small, national
operating shoe label “Shanghai” got “.shanghai” for US $25k – depriving 24 Million people and their constituents (businesses, organizations, associations, Government) of their ability to identify themselves with .shanghai domains!<br>
<br>
So: “THINK BIG” :D<br>

Specification 13 .BRAND TLD</a> provisions, dated 31 July 2017, *<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For present purposes I shall limit my comments to section 9. Definitions :<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in">9.3 (i) The header refers to “a registered trademark valid under applicable law …” from which one might infer that it refers to ANY registered trademark. In which case, it would beg the question
<i>quid </i>identical trademark strings registered in different jurisdictions and activities?<br>
<br>
I believe that the PDP and WT5 have yet to take fully on board that a gTLD confers a global on line monopoly whereas in all other contexts, trademarks and geographical names do not. Thus a .BRAND TLD not only creates additional rights for the Registry, over
and above those provided for by the original trademark, but also denies other trademark rights holders from using the same string on-line as a .brand<br>
<br>
An analogous issue has arisen in connection with Geographical names.<br>
<br>
9.3 ( i) b. The language is rather open ended: “… business in connection with the offering… claimed in the trademark registration;” might be open to quite broad interpretations.<br>
<br>
9.3 (iii) “the TLD is not a Generic String”. This is very welcome. I have argued, with others,
<i>ab</i> <i>initio</i> in WT5 that geographical names are not Generic. I am glad to see that there is an approved precedent.<br>
<br>
9.5 (iv) Again, the language “…reasonably related to any of the goods and services identified … “ is rather open ended.<br>
<br>
How has this been implemented by .brands that have already been delegated?<u></u><u></u></p>
