Legal status in Germany

In Germany the Domain ''.ag'' has a secondary meaning: AG, ''Aktiengesellschaft'' in the sense of a corporation with stockholders like www.bmw.ag.
A German court (''5. Zivilsenat des Oberlandesgerichtes Hamburg'') ruled in July 2004 in second instance that a ''.ag'' domain may only be registered by an ''Aktiengesellschaft'' and more precisely by an AG that has the same name as the domain. That means even if you own a company with shareholders in Germany with the name SAP AG, you may not register example.ag. [1]

Other meanings

In addition to its original intended use as a country code, and the secondary meaning as a type of company in German-speaking countries, the '.ag' domain has been marketed for use for agriculture-related sites, and for sites referencing the atomic symbol for silver, 'Ag'. It is also has a potential use for other domain hacks for English words that end in -ag.
