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.
Domains of famous marks have already been registered, versus being blocked.
Such domains include:
- ebay.ooo
- cnn.ooo
- ibm.ooo
- pepsi.ooo
- quora.ooo
- dell.ooo
- nike.ooo
- walmart.ooo
On the other hand, Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, YouTube, Apple and Facebook have all secured their respective brands in .OOO. Those are just a handful we checked “by hand”.
Would you register a .OOO domain? We say, IDontThinkSo.ooo. 😀
