Dear All, ICANN is conducting an independent review of the Trademark Clearinghouse, which was recommended by the GAC in 2011 (see https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/gac-comments-new-gtlds-26may11...). The GAC advised that the following specific topics should be included in the review’s terms of reference: (1) handling of non-exact matches to trademarks, (2) extension of the Trademark Claims notifications, and (3) impacts of the Claims services on the commercial watch services market. ICANN has engaged Analysis Group (http://www.analysisgroup.com/home/) to perform this review. Analysis Group has developed a questionnaire to assess the opinions of various groups that interact with either all or some of the TMCH services. Given that feedback from interested stakeholders is extremely valuable to this review, Analysis Group would like to invite you to participate in this questionnaire. http://www.analysisgroup.com/icann-trademark-clearinghouse/ This is intended as an informational study to support discussions on related Right Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) activities, such as the work of the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) and the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) review of all RPMs in all gTLDs Policy Development Process (PDP).
