This past week 21 new objections were filed at the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center for new gTLD strings. The WIPO center received the objections on March 13, 2013 and these were posted on the WIPO website.
Most of the objections have been filed by applicants against competing applicants but there are some interesting objections to observe. The latest objections include United States Postal Service’s objections for all 7 applications of the string .mail and Motorola’s objection for the string .moto.
According to WIPO 71 objections have been filed in total so we are 2 objections short. All are “Legal Rights” objections so far.
Total number of objections at WIPO is 69 by now and here is the list:
