Unified Domain Blocking Service Protecting Brands Online | GlobalBlock

The Brand Safety Alliance (BSA) team is excited to attend the International Trademark Association’s Trademark Administrators and Practitioners (TMAP) Meeting in Berlin, Germany, from September 28–30, 2025.
Bringing together trademark administrators, paralegals, practitioners and attorneys, TMAP is a key event for those managing global trademark portfolios. With a program covering the latest in trademark law, European regulations, case law and evolving brand protection practices, it provides a valuable platform for learning, discussion and collaboration.
For the BSA, the meeting is an opportunity to connect with trademark professionals from across Europe and beyond, sharing how GlobalBlock helps protect brands from domain abuse and streamlines online IP enforcement.
With the next round of new TLDs on the horizon, we look forward to conversations on how proactive domain blocking can complement traditional trademark strategies and reduce risks for both rights holders and consumers.
The BSA’s Jason Loyer and Caspar Veltheim will be traveling to Berlin for the event. If you’re attending INTA’s TMAP Meeting and would like to meet with us, please reach out at hello@brandsafetyalliance.co to arrange a time.

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.
