Name Law Portal Updated — Gowlings Domain
Gowling’s domain name law resource site gets an update.
If you’re looking for information regarding domain name law, Eric Macramalla’s Gowlings on Domains ought to be on your web surfing list. The site was recently updated to include information regarding the .asia landrush.
Macramalla is a Canadian trademark lawyer with Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP. His domain name law site is one of (if not) the most comprehensive sites regarding Canadian domain name law. But it also covers U.S. law extensively.
Among the site’s features:
-Comparison between UDRP and .ca’s CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“CDRP”)
-Summaries of ALL cases decided under CIRA
-Overview of .ca’s dispute mechanisms
-.Asia launch information
There are a lot of big domainers in Canada, and they’ll find this resource useful. But even non-Canadian domainers will benefit from the site
Macramalla “articled” (i.e., interned or clerked) for Gowlings back in 2000. That’s when he started getting into domain name law. He developed GowlingsOnDomains.com at the end of 2005. He is also an arbitrator for dot-ca name disputes.
