Rights Protections Mechanisms

As part of the gTLD application process, an objection procedure was established to protect various rights and interests, including the Legal Rights Objection (LRO) process to provide for protection of legal rights at the top level. This dispute resolution procedure was used to determine whether an applicant’s potential use of the applied-for new gTLD would cause infringement of the objector’s existing trademark.
