05 Mar 2005
AMMAN – Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) has announced on Saturday that Charles Sha’ban, executive director of AGIP’s Regional Office, will be participating in the International Trademark Association (INTA)’s fifth Trademarks in Cyberspace Forum, entitled “Trademarks in Cyberspace 2005: Trademarks on the Internet 10 Years On” in Vancouver, September 12, 2005.
The two-day forum, which comes after ten years of commercializing the Internet and the first sale of domain names, will be directed at advanced-level and experienced practitioners.
The Forum will not only focus on trademark and domain name issues, but will also discuss website protection through various means, such as copyrights and patents.
Jane Mutimear of Bird & Bird, and Michael R. Graham of Marshall & Borun LLP, will chair the forum, which will take place at the Sutton Palace Hotel, Vancouver.
According to a press release by AGIP, Sha’ban will speak in a session entitled “International Domain Name Overview”. The session will comprise a panel discussion from international experts, who will consider the evolution of the ccTLDs and IDNs, as well as the gTLDs, addressing issues which arise in daily practice, such as Whois, traceability, and how to take enforcement issues against cyber squatters from around the world.
The Forum will be hosting speakers from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Kirkpatrick & Stockton, Bird & Bird, eBay and others.
