000041758 520__ $$aProtection of Geographic Names in International Law and Domain Name System Policy provides a comprehensive analysis of the consistency of the ICANN New gTLD Program policy on geographic names with international law. Do governments possess exclusive rights to use geographic names in the Internet domain name system? Since the first edition of this book in 2012 – then and now the only book to report on and critically analyse new generic top-level domain name policy – much has occurred in response to this question, but no clear, predictable policy framework has yet emerged. This thoroughly updated second edition reassesses the need for legal clarity with its comprehensive identification and analysis of potential bases of rights in geographic names under international law, covering a diverse range of options including sovereignty and related State theory principles, intellectual property rights, geographical indications, unfair competition, and human rights.  What’s in this book:  In the course of the analysis, an entirely new field of international economic law emerges, as a number of distinct areas of law intersect and engage with such diverse legal issues as the following:  issues of Internet governance; the legitimacy, transparency, and representativeness of the ICANN; the role of ‘soft law’; the extent to which rights in geographic names are recognized in trademark law; impact of new domains on findings of distinctiveness in trademark examination; rights to national identity, self-determination, freedom of expression, culture, language, and property; ‘bad actors’; rights recognition and challenge mechanisms; controversial and ‘geopolitical’ names; and dispute resolution policy and processes, including discussion of specific applications lodged in 2012. In a field that raises more questions than answers, this book offers an in-depth examination of the implications of positive international law to assess the extent to which geographic names are currently protected and to what extent they can be exclusively claimed by governments in defence of territorial prerogatives.
