You May Have Missed Some Big Domain Name News The prior week

If you missed these stories, take a look.

There were a couple big domain name stories the prior week that you may have missed, especially since some of it came out Friday afternoon. And the news all comes out of Canada.

First, on Thursday I wrote regarding how domain name registrar Tucows (OpenSRS, Hover) is integrating Afternic DLS’ premium network. The firm will list domain names in Afternic’s inventory for sale on its network and clients can instantly purchase (and get transferred) the domain names. The integration is scheduled for completion by the end of this stretch.

Second, on Friday the Court of Appeal for Ontario released a decision that gives more credence to the idea of domain names as property. The case involved a lawsuit brought by Tucows against a Brazilian firm that had filed a UDRP on one of Tucows’ domain names.
