What's Next for the New gTLDs

Event | 12.16.10, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

ICANN's new Generic TLD Program is moving forward, and Crowell & Moring's next webinar will bring you up to date. At its meetings in Cartagena, Colombia, during the week of December 5, ICANN is expected to update the schedule for the new gTLD application process, address recently expressed government concerns, continue to work on finalizing its Applicant Guidebook, and address issues such as trademark protection, malicious conduct, morality and public order policies, scalability and DNS resource effects, and market impacts of the new gTLD program.

Crowell & Moring lawyers will be participating in those meetings in Cartagena, and will bring back first-hand reports about the latest developments on issues that are important to brand owners. In addition, our webinar will address in greater depth the initial questions that will be crucial in any brand owner’s strategic assessment of whether and how to participate in the gTLD process.

This second webinar in our gTLD series will provide actionable intelligence, including practical guidance and specifics on how to approach a company’s individualized assessment of whether to pursue a proprietary gTLD. Crowell & Moring lawyers have hands-on experience with planning and implementing TLD registries and running brand protection programs.

  • The inside story from Cartagena

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
