IDN Technologies LLC is a subsidiary of, and is managed by, General Patent Corporation.

Multilingual domain name technology

Consider this:
• 92% of the world speaks a primary language other than English
• 48% of Internet users are non-native English speakers

The IDN Technologies LLC patent provides fundamental and key technology for IDNs. The Internet Engineering Task Force's RFC 1035 standard does not allow non-English characters in domain names, which has hampered the proliferation of the Internet in non-English-speaking countries. Using the IDN patented technology, Internet users can access web pages and use various Internet applications with domain names that include foreign language and other special characters.
