It is also the fourth largest ccTLD in terms of total registrations behind .cn, .de and .uk.
Spain's ccTLD, .es, passed the one million mark reports Sedo. The passing of the milestone occurred much more rapidly following liberalisation of the registration rules in the .es name space two years ago.

Registration of a business, company or domain name does not in itself give you any proprietary rights-only a trade mark can give you that kind of protection. The same word(s) may be registered by different people as business names and trade marks. However, the registered trade mark owner can sue the business owner for infringing the trade mark if the business name owner uses it on goods or services similar to those covered by the trade mark registration.
