WIPO Cites Continued Rise in Cybersquatting Complaints

摘要

The World Intellectual Property Organization said March 26 that the number of cybersquatting complaints brought to WIPO for settlement continued to increase in 2012, with complaints from and against US respondents accounting for a large share of the cases. Trademark holders filed a record 2,884 cybersquatting cases last year covering more than 5,000 internet domain names through WIPO's Arbitration and Mediation Center, the United Nations agency reported. That represented a 4.5% increase over the number of cases filed in 2011.
