There are a raft of other factors as well. However, I still ask whether or not “infringement” is defined anywhere in this ICANN policy or if we are all just assuming into it a U.S. understanding of what that word means. Do we also mean to include dilution and other brand abuses in “infringement”? Is the Indian definition different in any meaningful way and, if so, what ways? Russian, EU? Of course, applying infringement theory in the domain name context is a bit of a misfit, since infringement requires use on similar goods and services, which is why the US Congress brought the US the ACPA which has its own elements and factors. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Let’s us a hypothetical example.

Only a tribunal of competent jurisdiction can determine whether, under the particular circumstances of each case, a second level domain is infringing. It seems to me the way to frame the issue is to determine whether a Registry has engaged in a pattern or practice of selling domain names that are later judged to be infringing in an adversarial proceeding. Liability under the PDDRP would then turn on the Registry’s knowledge, scienter and/or reaction once it has been determined that the names in question have been used in a manner giving rise to a finding of infringement. Of course once a TLD reaches a certain scale, there are bound to be instances of second level domains used in an infringing manner.
