In 2010, trademark holders filed 2,696 cybersquatting cases with the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) arbitration unit. That's a jump of 28 percent over 2009 and 16 percent more than 2008, which was itself a record year.
"You'll ask me no doubt what the explanation for that is," commented Francis Gurry, WIPO Director General, at a press conference (video) held to announce the figures. "And I can't give it to you."
