There\u2019s no doubt that the numbers of filings over recent weeks support this argument, but I\u2019d contend that the inferences drawn from the numbers aren\u2019t correct. It\u2019s true that the number of URS filings against new gTLDs is small compared with UDRP filings. But the figures quoted are based on just several weeks\u2019 worth of filings, which is surely too short a timeframe to come to any meaningful interpretation. Also, these numbers can&#8217;t support the suggestion that brands don\u2019t like using URS because the domain is only suspended pending re-registration.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s no content to worry about, then in most cases it can be unnecessarily costly or time-consuming to escalate a URS complaint and then also a UDRP complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, just eight months since the first full launches beyond the Sunrise period, most new gTLDs have no content. Neustar has adopted the URS for its .us extension, the first major legacy extension to do so, and no doubt we\u2019ll see a rise in URS filings against .us registrants as time goes by. It\u2019s when larger legacy gTLDs adopt the URS that the floodgates will surely open.<\/p>\n<p>Without any disrespect to the new gTLDs already in their sunrise period, they\u2019re not, as yet, the ones we\u2019re all waiting for. At CSC, we\u2019d expect to see a surge in domain and web content infringements when, say, the .app domain goes live<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the remedy is nearly always first a cease-and-desist letter (the preferred option if you think the infringer is likely to respond) or a swift move to UDRP. I\u2019ve no doubt that URS will turn out to be a very useful rights protection mechanism. The number of complaints may be small right now, but I find it difficult to believe that it\u2019s because brand owners have lost confidence in it. Remember, the numbers debated recently have been based on a few weeks\u2019 worth of data. Let\u2019s see what the figures are a year hence. Perhaps then we can make more meaningful judgments about how URS is being adopted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Hayden The announcement of the Uniform Resolution Service\u2019s death has been greatly exaggerated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The death of URS already?
