Overview: Virtually nothing has been written on the use of trademarks as a strategy of appropriability. This paper investigates this topic in an exploratory manner, arguing that trademarks are not only important in their own right in industries where quality and status matter, but also supplement other strategies, such as patents and lead time, in a range of other industries. The paper then focuses on two "Battle areas" that have recently spawned controversy, Internet domain names and geographic indications, which are based on the trademark system, but also open up intriguing new avenues for firms to leverage trademarks as strategies of appropriability.
