Canon could start publishing pages ending in its brand name if it secures the suffix

Organisations wishing to buy web addresses ending in their brand names have until 00:00 GMT on Thursday to submit applications.

For example, drinks giant Pepsi can apply for .pepsi, .gatorade or .tropicana as an alternative to existing suffixes such as .org or .com.

Parties are able to request up to 50 web address endings.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers plans to publish application details on 30 April.

Companies had to sign up to its process by March to qualify for the upcoming deadline. It says 839 users are taking part.
