The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center was appointed by ICANN as the exclusive provider of dispute resolution services for trademark based "pre-delegation" Legal Rights Objections (LRO) under ICANN New gTLD Program.
The WIPO Center's administration of cases in this first round under ICANN's Program came to a close with the notification of the last of the expert determinations in September 2013.
The WIPO Center has captured this experience in a Report covering the development, procedure and substance of the LRO process.
Set out below furthermore are resources which the WIPO Center made available to parties, as well as a list of all objections and results.
