Answers to two questions about the TMCH extending alerts beyond 90 days. Yesterday I wrote about how the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) is extending the amount of time it will alert trademark holders if someone registers domains that contain their mark. Originally set for just 90 days, now the TMCH will extend the service for as […]
In my opinion, NamesCon will be a huge success.

TechCrunch.com just covered Oktogo, "one of the larger hotel-booking sites in Russia which acquired , acquired Travel.ru, for around $2 million".

I recently learned about a large company that was re-branding one of its business units. I did some domain research to see if they had acquired a matching domain name, and the domain name is now owned by one of the large brand management and protection firms. I wanted to see if I could learn how it was acquired, and that's where it got interesting....

.bar, .pub, .fish, .actor, .caravan, .saarland, .yokohama, .ren, .eus and .??? all have new gTLD contracts with ICANN as of yesterday. It's an eclectic batch of TLDs. Unusually, one one belongs to Donuts. Of note is .caravan, which on the face of it looks like an English-language generic, but which is actually a closed, single-registrant […]

Yesterday I flew Virgin Airlines for the first time and must say that they are by far the best airline I have ever flown.

A great domain name, Merged.com, ended up being sold for under $2,000 on NameJet, earlier today. Yikes. That is a domain name registered in 1998.

In fact, I'll be contacting someone with a domain
