.xxx domains – time to think about protection?

A recent case brought by Sir Richard Branson has resulted in him regaining control of richardbranson.xxx after it had been registered in Australia by Sean Truman. The decision to grant ownership of the domain to Sir Richard was taken by US based adjudication body The National Arbitration Forum.

The .xxx domain was introduced in 2011 as a home for pornography and other adult oriented sites.

The ability for anyone to register YourCompanyName.xxx or YourName.xxx, and use the domain as a host for potentially embarrassing content, could have a seriously damaging effect on your brand and your personal reputation.

Whilst Sir Richard Branson has been able to regain control of his .xxx name, most will not be able to argue that their name is protected under intellectual property law; that’s quite apart from the cost and inconvenience of pursuing a complaint.

Act now to register your .xxx domains, whilst you still can, and protect your reputation.
