Managing .au Domain Names

auDA hosted a webinar on 14 February with Sergey Litvinov, IP Officer at IP Australia, to dig into the relationship between trade marks, online businesses and how to make sure your intellectual property is protected.

The inaugural Why .au? Australia’s trusted .au domain report report raises awareness of the benefits of .au to help more Australians get the most out of their online experience. It shows Australian consumers turn to .au as they know it is Australian, recognisable and trustworthy.

In Australia, 25 April is ANZAC Day, a day on which Australians reflect on the service and sacrifices made by soldiers for our country. In the .au domain, the term “ANZAC" is reserved to respect the ANZAC legacy and uphold trust in .au.

With the Olympic games headed to Brisbane in 2032, Internet interest in Queensland’s capital has soared. To help Internet users be confident they are getting their information from official sources, “Olympics” is on the .au reserved names list.
