December 14, 2011 By
Group’s IP attorney miffed that it couldn’t get bbb.xxx under ICM Registry sunrise process. In planned testimony for today’s hearing about new TLDs in the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology on new TLDs, Council of Better Business Bureaus IP attorney Anjali Hansen said her group should have had first dibs on the domain name BBB: Even more astounding was the fact that ICM Registry refused to accept CBBB’s registration of its most famous trademark “BBB” because ICM was allowed to reserve bbb.xxx as a premium name that it can later auction off to the highest bidder. We could not even defensively purchase our own trademark. Hmm. I’m sure the American Automobile Association would love first dibs on aaa.xxx as well.
