Check .lt domain
The Lithuanian Computer Society (LIKS) has conducted a survey to determine whether women in open Lithuanian and Icelandic Facebook discussion groups spell their surnames correctly, i.e. using unique letters. The results revealed that only 59% of Lithuanian women spelled their surname correctly on social network sites, while the rest used incorrect spelling with Latin letters without diacritics. Icelandic women were much more active in using unique letters of their language in their surnames, with 90% of Icelandic surnames spelled correctly.
The Internet Service Centre DOMREG at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) reports that the growth in the number of .lt domains fell to just 0.5% in 2022, compared to 5.7% in 2021 and even 7.1% in 2020. In total, there were more than 226 000 second-level .lt domains registered at the end of 2022.
Kaunas University of Technology, together with the Internet Service Center DOMREG and the State Patent Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania, organized the seminar “Why is intellectual property important for business? History of domains and trademarks”.
From 2023 February starts the new series of remote seminars organized by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) for registrars and the Internet community in Central Europe and the Baltic countries.
Any business start-up is inseparable from its name - company, trademark, domain. It is often the case that the first step is to create a domain for a website, and only then to develop a trademark and register a company. No matter which comes first - the chicken or the egg - it is essential to take care of domain and trademark protection at the start-up stage.
The seminar for the registrars organized by the Internet Service Centre DOMREG at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) took place on 1 December 2022.
