In light of recent announcements regarding Cameroon\'s country code Top-Level Domain, .CM, being opened to public registration, Tresa Baldas reports on Law.com: \"Trademark attorneys are warning companies about a new target for cybersquatters known as \'.cm,\' which is the country code—or top level domain—for the West African nation of Cameroon. The dot-cm domain is a hot target for scammers, they say, due to \'cm\' being a common typographical error for \'com\' in the popular dot-com domain. Attorneys say this is significant to brand owners because Internet users searching for brand owners\' Web sites frequently mistype dot-com as dot-cm and wind up on a bogus site. Not only is Web traffic lost, they say, but a brand name can get diluted or tainted along the way.\" (Also see, Nation of Cameroon Typo-Squats the Entire .com Space from 2006)
