Legal Guide: Use of Trademarks Within Metatags (Apr 2001)
Metatags are HTML code contained in a website but not visible to Web users. Search engines use "descriptive" and "keyword" metatags to identify sites that correspond to terms entered in the search fields. Many companies list their trademarks, such as the company name or names of its products or services, in their website's metatags. This is especially useful if Web users are likely to know a company's trademarked product, such as Post-Its, but may not know the company's name or domain name.

Fanning the Flames: Introducing Two New Top Level Domain Names (Jun 2001)
Just when you thought you had registered all the domain names you needed to protect your company's interests on the Internet, ICANN, the non-profit corporation that oversees the administration of the domain name system, has decided to pave the way for a brand new domain name gold rush. ICANN recently announced its approval of the new .biz and .info top level domain (TLD) registries. In theory, the new TLDs are a new opportunity for legitimate concerns to stake their claim on some appropriate online real estate. In reality, we are more likely just to see two new battlefields for domain name disputes. The only real winners will be the domain name registrars who stand to rake in some serious cash, regardless of whether the new TLDs prove to be a blessing or a curse.
