Defensive Registration means registering multiple variants of domain names by a registrant across different TLDs for the primary purpose of protecting his or her intellectual property or trademark against domain name abuses particularly cybersquatting.[1] Based on the report entitled "Assessment of ICANN Preliminary Reports on Competition and Pricing" prepared by Michael Kende, an economist and head of Analysys Mason, defensive registration was defined as registration that is not unique, does not resolve, redirects traffic back to a core registration or does not contain unique content.[2]
