== Legal Rights Objections: New gTLD Program==
WIPO was appointed the exclusive provider of dispute resolution services for trademark based “pre-delegation” Legal Rights Objections
under ICANN’s New gTLD Program. In summary, "Prior to ICANN’s approval of a New gTLD, third parties may file a formal objection to an application on several grounds, including, for trademark owners and Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), on the basis of a “Legal Rights Objection.”When such an objection is filed, an independent panel (comprised of one or three experts) will determine whether the applicant’s potential use of the applied-for gTLD would be likely to infringe (described below) the objector’s existing trademark, or IGO name or acronym."<ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/lro/ LRO, WIPO.int]Retrieved 25 March 2013</ref> WIPO received a total of 41 objections to administer.<ref>[http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/lro/cases/ Cases, LRO, WIPO.int] Retrieved 25 March 2013</ref>
