Schwartz, Intel Corporation's Senior Attorney for Trademarks & Brands, provided comments regarding the Accompanying Rules, and Provider of [[ICANN]]'s Draft [[UDRP]]. Schwartz commented that ICANN demonstrated a positive advancement towards the protection of trademarks in cyberspace by posting the UDRP to its website; he believed, however, that certain sections needed revision.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/comments-mail/comment-udrp/current/msg00095.html Comments on the Draft UDRP, Accompanying Rules, and Provider Selection]</ref> | ||
==References== | On January 26, 2010, Intel expressed its disappointment regarding the [[Special Trademark Issues]] Working Team (STI) Report on Trademark Protection on New [[gTLD]]s. The company was disappointed that many of the strategies recommended by the prior [[Implementation Recommendation Team]] (IRT) were not incorporated into the STI Team's report or any draft of the [[New gTLD Applicant Guidebook|applicant guidebook]]. They noted that the IRT's recommendations effectively created a system of interworking mechanisms, which included a globally protected marks list, and that by leaving them out in the STI report, the effectiveness of any one measure was severely compromised. Intel urged [[ICANN]] to reconsider incorporating some of the IRT recommendations. Meanwhile, Intel acknowledged the benefits of a [[Trademark Clearinghouse]] as necessary protection tool for trademarks. The company suggested that its use and scope be expanded and that it should be used during new the gTLD pre-launch and during [[UDRP|Uniform Rapid Suspension System]] (URSS) and [[Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy]] (UDRP) proceedings for all TLDs, including existing ones. They also proposed that information submitted to the Trademark Clearinghouse be shared with [[Registry|registries]] and [[Registrar|registrars]], for the purpose of supporting RPM procedures, unless otherwise authorized by trademark owners. Intel believed that fees to submit trademarks to the Trademark Clearinghouse should be minimal. Regarding the URS process, Intel agreed that it would be a beneficial tool as long as the process was made less expensive and quicker.<ref>[http://forum.icann.org/lists/sti-report-2009/msg00068.html Intel Corporation Comments on STI Report]</ref> | ||
==ISOC== | |||
Intel is a sponsor of a component of [[ISOC]]'s Next Generation Leaders Programme, which is an academic and field-based program, launched in 2010 in conjunction with the [[DiploFoundation]], intended to further the skills of promising Internet professionals and individuals working in Internet governance. Intel specifically sponsors a fellowship with the [[IETF]], a part of the academic portion of the NGL programme.<ref>http://isoc.org/wp/newsletter/?p=2450 Newsletter, ISOC.org]</ref> | |||
