Abusive Registrations Sample Clauses

Abusive Registrations. “Abusive registrations” are not limited to intellectual property claims, and the .xxx sTLD may raise special concerns about strings that cannot be automatically catalogued, but in which common-law trademark claims, personal names, cultural or religious terms, may give rise to a legitimate concern. Accordingly, ICM believes that any policy that mechanically defines “abusive” is likely to be under-inclusive. Additionally, ICM is well aware that some parties, in anticipation of, and for the purpose of manipulating mechanical “sunrise” procedures, have made bulk filings in various legal jurisdictions to acquire “IP rights.” − ICM will, therefore, make non-resolving name registrations available to any party without such party having to satisfy arbitrary formal requirements. Such names will not be transferable and cannot be transformed into a resolving name. ICM will provide a mechanism whereby those who have sought, but not obtained, non-resolving registrations will be notified in the event a non-resolving registration lapses, so that they may, if they so elect register the non-resolving string on long term, deeply discounted rates. − ICM will draw on domain name registry best practices to create or acquire the rights to use an initial Country and Geographic Designators Reserved List, which shall be posted no less than sixty (60) days prior to the TLD’s Limited Launch date. − Cultural/Religious Names. ICM will provide a mechanism whereby, during a specified period of no less than sixty (60) days prior to the TLD’s Limited Launch date (as defined in the Start-Up Plan), Icon’s Government Advisory Committee and/or the government of any country or distinct economy participating in the GAS (collectively, “Governments”) may identify for reservation from registration names that match words of cultural and/or religious significance (“Culturally Significant Names”).
