MBH at TheDomains.com has a post about the Minds + Machines findings. He suggests that it is worth expanding:

  • the perspective in to ccTLDs that have launched as open as well, like .me
  • does not take into consideration the legal fees around preparation of a UDRP
  • could incorporate how many cease and desist letters are sent by tm holders resulting in a transfer prior to UDRP
  • the number of court cases filed by tm holders or those costs

It also seems reasonable to perhaps quantify

  • the many, many areas where a possible dispute was resolved by friendly (as opposed to visceral) first contact.
  • A higher level of ethical conduct being illustrated by ‘domainers’ (ie the Internet Commerce Association Code of Conduct) reducing the number of claims
  • The impacts of Yahoo or Google blacklisting infringing names reducing the attraction of infringing registrations

With the exception of including ‘open’ ccTLDs, (we will look into this), many of the data points are worth considering but are not necessarily quantifiable.

The findings are not a surprise at all. Deep inside everyone knows the truth and a lot of time is wasted on developing perfect policies on things that do not have a great impact on society or brands. Too bad the attorneys of big brands try to hide the real truth from their clients and charge them for it. Constantine .music This is great research. The findings are not a surprise at all.

Should be completed midday 2/18. @Troung - Liar is a strong label, perhaps presenting "the truth through a filter". @Fred F, @Zach – We are working on validating this research.

Someone took a lot of time to go through all of the information, for sure. Looks like the people who did the study are pro-new TLD, though not a surprise at these findings.

Glad to see someone took the initiative to do all that research. I looked at NAF and WIPO and it looks like that took a long time to do. Not a shocker.
