What is WIPO doing in addition to administering cases under the UDRP?
The UDRP was originally designed for settling disputes in generic top-level domains such as .com, .net, and .org. However, a number of country code domain name registries also have started to adopt the UDRP or similar policies, and WIPO also provides dispute resolution services for country code top-level domains – for example, .VE for Venezuela and .TV for Tuvalu. After having addressed trademark issues in the First WIPO Domain Name Process, WIPO has in the Second WIPO Domain Name Process addressed the question of protection for identifiers other than trademarks, such as geographical indications – for wine-producing regions, for example – personal names, trade names, and names or acronyms of international intergovernmental organizations. Developments in the field of domain names and related dispute resolution are extremely dynamic.
