This article seeks to provide some perspective on the likely depth of those concerns after considering the argument for expansion. An outline of the proposed application procedure examines how the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers intends to ensure the success of new domain registrars and the restrictions on various categories of new gTLDs. This is intended to be the first layer of protection in preventing abusive domain name registrations. A review is made of which business models are likely to succeed considering past gTLD introductions and current trends in domain names. Changes in how users locate information on the internet are also considered. Possible opportunities and cautions for brand and trademark owners are considered throughout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AIPJ\/volumes\/23\/parts\/1&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/AIPJ\/volumes\/23\/parts\/1\/articles\/49\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AIPJ\/volumes\/23\/parts\/1___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=2&amp;hit=5&amp;hits=5&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=ArttSiitPAHGaBMB2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A response to the Senate inquiry into the Patent Amendment (Human Genes and Biological Materials) Bill 2010<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Clare Bradin<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rapid evolution of biotechnological innovation is a challenge to the durability of Australian patent law. Prompted by the Senate inquiry into the Patent Amendment (Human Genes and Biological Materials) Bill 2010 (Cth), this article examines the difficulties associated with defining the boundaries of patentable subject matter through the contentious example of isolated gene sequences. It is through this paradigm that a number of inherent ambiguities in this legislative requirement of patentability are revealed. An examination of both Australian and US precedent uncovers a pervasive demand for flexibility in the resolution of such ambiguity; if patent law is to develop with technology it must be governed by broad principles capable of differing emphasis depending on the specific invention under consideration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the pdf version of the table of contents, click here:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/2012\/09\/17\/australian-intellectual-property-journal-update-september-2012\/aipj-vol-23-no-1-sep-12-contents\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4148\">AIPJ Vol 23 Pt 1 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/app\/tocectory?ndd=1&amp;ao=o.AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC||I85b12446fc8e11e1a7d7c443ccdde7f2&amp;stnew=true&amp;parentinfo=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC||Ic228bcf0f6ec11e1a7d7c443ccdde7f2%3E%3CVolume%2023&amp;srb=fulltext#advs-hide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Part of Volume 23 of the AIPJ publishes the winner and runner up of the 2011 AIPJ essay competition.
