On January 26, 2010, Intel expressed its disappointment regarding the Special Trademark Issues Working Team ([[STI]]) Report on Trademark Protection on New [[gTLD]]s. The company cited that majority of the protection rights strategies or mechanisms recommended by the Implementation Recommendation Team ([[IRT]]) intended to create an overall system for trademark rights were not incorporated in the report. Intel emphasized that, the STI report is lacking to protect trademark rights and urged ICANN to reconsider incorporating some of the IRT recommendations. Meanwhile Intel acknowledged the benefits of a Trademark Clearing House as an implementing tool tool to protect trademarks. The company suggested it should be used new and existing gTLDs during the pre-launch, Uniform Rapid Suspension ([[URS]] process and during Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy ([[UDRP]]) proceedings. Information submitted to the Trademark Clearing House should only be shared to registries and registrars for the purpose of supporting RPM procedures unless authorized by trademark owners to use the information for other purpose. Fees to submit trademarks to the Trademark Clearing House should be minimal. Regarding the issue on URS, Intel agrees that the tool is also beneficial as long as the process is less expensive and quicker.<ref>[http://forum.icann.org/lists/sti-report-2009/msg00068.html Intel Corporation Comments on STI Report]</ref>
