Arabic Domain Names are Expected to Be Launched Soon

Three Arab countries namely Egypt, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are becoming technically qualified by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to allow for non-Latin characters in web extensions. This means that the said countries are allowed to use and register the domain names in Arabic characters.

Even though this new progress will break the monopoly of the Latin language in all web sites, the necessity to protect these Arabic domain names from online piracy (cyber-crimes) would be necessary. Trademarks owners are highly recommended to do so.
