Attorney Doug Isenberg of The GigaLaw Firm was quoted extensively in an article on the Legaltech News website about .ai domain name disputes.
The article, “Examining .ai Domains and Their Additional IT, Compliance and Legal Requirements,” was published on September 25, 2023. It discusses the increase in domain name registrations and disputes related to .ai, a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla, a British territory in the Caribbean.
The .ai ccTLD, of course, coincidentally reflects the abbreviation for “artificial intelligence.”
In the article, Doug discusses restrictions on the use of .ai domain names, applicability of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) to .ai domain names, and recommendations for trademark owners to craft strong UDRP complaints for .ai domain names.
Among other things, the article says:
About 42 countries, including Anguilla, have adopted the UDRP. “If there is an .ai domain dispute, it’s not necessary for the trademark owner to have a trademark registration in Anguilla,” Isenberg stated. “If the complainant has trademark rights in the U.S. or any other market, that would be sufficient to bring the dispute.”
In addition to the Legaltech News article, Doug has recently published the following videos about the rise of AI and its relationship to domain name disputes:
