Is your trademark ready for the new domain name extensions?

In a few months, the first new domain name extensions will be launched and this will continue in coming years. For your trademark, it is important to be online via domain name extensions that might be relevant for you. In addition, it is also extremely useful to be informed about possible abuse of your trademark. Trademark Clearinghouse, or TMCH, helps you keep a closer eye on the whole thing.

The TMCH gives you the possibility to register your trademarks in a worldwide database. By doing this once in one central location, registering your name in the future will be made much easier.

Concretely, the TMCH offers you the following benefits:

Take advantage of the sunrise period

Before a domain name extension is available to the public, privileged parties can safeguard domain names. In principle, if you have a registered trademark that is also registered in the TMCH database, you will also have the privilege to take advantage of the sunrise period.

Receive abuse notifications
During the “trademark claims service” period, both the potential registrant (the owner) and the registrar (the domain manager) will be notified if a domain name is registered with your trademark. This should allow you to take any appropriate action if necessary.
