Trademark violations plague newly launched .OOO gTLD

The party has begun among those adopting the new India-based gTLD, .OOO (triple Oh) which launched to much fanfare and some very hopeful expectations.

With around 4,600 registrations so far according to nTLDStats, .OOO is attracting numerous trademark violations – something that wasn’t witnessed with other gTLDs, such as .XYZ, for example.
