The Company is a long established and well-known multinational corporation, with a history spanning more than 93 years. It was founded in 1919 and has changed its corporate name several times. It develops its business under the present corporate name and its headquarters are located in Tokyo, Japan. The Company is currently comprised of a group of up to 200 subsidiary companies. The Company undertakes business in over 146 countries with a total workforce of 39,727 employees (as of March 31, 2011, consolidated basis).
The Company is considered to be one of the leading companies in the medical and life science business, and the manufacture and sale of precision machinery. The net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were up to JPY847,105,000,000 (consolidated basis).
The Company has established a long-term, sustainable vision for the development of its business and its strong internet presence, along with technologies such as the World Wide Web and email, are central to this development. This is also reflected by the Company's domain portfolio, of over 1,100 domains. The Company envisions that the .OLYMPUS TLD and the domain names registered under it will provide a great opportunity to interact online with current and potential customers and stakeholders.
The brand ʺOLYMPUSʺ is the name of the company itself and is a well-known multinational corporate brand. This brand was established in 1921 and has been used as a part of The Companyʹs name since The Company changed its name to ʺOlympus Optical Co., Ltd.ʺ The Company has registered this corporate brand in up to 146 countries and/or trademark jurisdictional regions. This corporate brand serves to clearly remind general customers of the companyʹs goods and services.
The .OLYMPUS Registry will provide an Internet space, under the control of The Company, to allow for the distribution and exchange of information among The Company and its stakeholders by means of, but not limited to, websites, social networks, email and other technologies that will reside within the .OLYMPUS domain name space. In addition, ancillary services may be provided in relation to registration of domains within the TLD, including but not limited to website hosting, SEO, marketing and consulting services.
The Company initially intends to reserve all names within the TLD for itself, and to primarily use any of those domain names for promotional and navigational purposes relating to The Companyʹs online presence and/or provision of goods and services.
Eventually, though not likely for at least three years post-delegation, The Company anticipates the possibility that Affiliates could license the use of domains within the TLD from The Company. However, such licenses could only be made via contract which limits the use of the domain name to purposes specified by The Company. Such terms would be enforced via monitoring and quick action to mitigate any negative effects of any such abuse, if any. Licenses of the domain names could be revoked by The Company at any time, for any reason.
