Unified Domain Blocking Service Protecting Brands Online | GlobalBlock
Tony Kirsch
The GlobalBlock team is excited to connect with senior leaders and advisors in intellectual property at the upcoming INTA Leadership Meeting.
The meeting, which brings together INTA Board, committee and project team members, is a fantastic opportunity to continue our ongoing conversation with the IP community about the role of domain blocking, and to learn how GlobalBlock can better serve this industry.
With the recent announcement that the World Intellectual Property Organization and Internet Commerce Association will conduct a review of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), the connection between domain names and IP protection will be top-of-mind for many in the industry.
The review aims to “maintain the UDRP as an efficient and predictable out-of-court dispute resolution mechanism” and to only make recommendations “borne out of a demonstrated compelling need for a change.” However, many brand management professionals are still seeking opportunities to be more proactive in their reputation management strategy and less reliant on reactive disputes.
The Brand Safety Alliance’s Jason Loyer and Leona Chen-Birkner will attend the INTA meeting in New Orleans, where they will also host a booth to facilitate meetings and provide information about GlobalBlock.
Jason and Leona look forward to talking with prominent in-house and external counsel representatives during the meeting, which runs from November 12—15, 2024.

APTLD90 brought the Asia Pacific domain name community to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia last month, with ccTLD registries, technical operators, policy specialists and other members of the regional internet community coming together to discuss the challenges shaping the future of the domain name system.

When the domain name industry meets in Bali this October, it will mark a time of significant change and opportunity for the ICANN community. Following the application period for the second round of new gTLDs, ICANN will publish its full list of prospective TLDs and their applicants, likely just prior to its Annual General Meeting from October 17-22.

When the BSA team attended INTA’s TMAP meeting in Berlin last year, much of the conversation around new TLDs and AI-driven domain abuse was anticipatory. The threat was real, but for many trademark professionals, it still felt like something on the horizon.

From the early days of the Brand Safety Alliance, response to our mission from registries, registrars and brands in the Asia Pacific region has been strong. Many registries have chosen to participate in GlobalBlock and are recognizing the benefits of stronger brand and IP defenses in improving registry health and protecting internet users by proactively stopping abuse before it occurs. In the coming months, our commitment to this community ramps up through several events in partnership with the Asia Pacific Top-Level Domain Association (APTLD). The BSA’s Leona Chen-Birkner will present a webinar to APTLD members, before giving a presentation at the upcoming APTLD90 meeting in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in September.
