The Fox Approach to New gTLDs
� Early on, we realized gTLDs would have a significant impact
on our business and budget
� Needed to get out ahead of the issue
• Education: the IP team and wider business
• Participation at ICANN
� Started to develop our New gTLD Strategy
• Primary concern was protecting our IP in the new namespace
• Developed a flexible framework for making key decisions
• Worldwide IP team led the initiative
• Rolled out to business units over time
Our Strategy Continues to Evolve
![Page 7: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Review and Prioritize Core Marks
� Started by prioritizing key marks:
• Tier 1: Core marks
• Tier 2: Marks with limited registrations
• Tier 3: One-off registrations
� Provides a good foundation for decisions
![Page 8: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Page 8
Build a Framework for Quick Decisions
� Constantly reviewing ALL proposed gTLDs:
• .generics
• .geographies
• .media
� Based upon our prioritized marks, we then determine:
• Where to register
• Where to block
• Where to police
� Budget appropriately
![Page 9: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Page 9
Utilize the Trademark Clearinghouse
� Submitted all marks that we planned on registering in new
spaces
� Want to be in a position to take advantage of Sunrise periods
![Page 10: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Page 10
Determine Where to Register
� Too cost prohibitive to register ALL marks defensively, in
every new TLD
� Are considering registering core marks in related spaces:
• Sorted by category, e.g. as entertainment, media, sports, online
• Then by spaces within the category
![Page 11: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Page 11
Determine Blocking Strategy
� Blocking can be a cost-effective alternative to registration
� Blocked core marks with Donuts
• Protection in over 200 registries
• Must be TMCH-validated marks
• Exact match blocking only for three-letter domains
• Be aware of “overrides” and “premium domains”
![Page 12: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Page 12
Expand Policing Strategy
� Moving from a defensive registration strategy to policing for
abuse
� Expanding domain watching and monitoring for brand abuse
� Take advantage of Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) as
necessary
![Page 13: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Page 13
Revisit Domain Management Policies
� Visibility and central management are crucial
� Limiting the number of individuals that are permitted to
request, approve and modify registrations
� Using an established framework as a guide to registrations
—and controlling budget
![Page 14: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Page 14
Re-examine Your Domain Portfolio
� Good opportunity to pare-back our portfolio
� Take a hard look at defensive registrations
� Eliminate domains that no longer make good business sense
• Countries we’re no longer doing business in
• Domains registered but never used
• Domains where costs are high, but risk of cybersquatting is low
![Page 15: New gTLD Strategies - Best Practices with Fox Entertainment … · 2020-05-29 · New gTLD Strategies: Best Practices with Fox Entertainment Group Featured Speakers Page 2 Beth Allegretti,](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050105/5f4379689b7d8d0cc3748525/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

How Does Donuts Blocking Work?
� Prevents cybersquatting by enabling brand owners to block
their trademarks from registration at the second level across
all Donuts TLDs
� That term is blocked from registration in all Donuts TLDs for
an initial period of five years
� A domain blocked by DPML is not functional, meaning it may
not be used for a website URL, email address or other type of
domain related functionality
