"The U.N. copyright agency saw a 25 percent increase in cybersquatting complaints last year.
The World Intellectual Property Organization, which handles arbitration for more than half of the world's cybersquatting disputes each year, registered 1,823 complaints in 2006 alleging abusive registrations of trademarks as Internet domain names." Here



"According to Microsoft, an average of 2,000 domain names containing its trademarks are registered each day, three-quarters of which it believes are owned by professional domain name speculators." here
