Trademark Holders
Trademark holders that want to protect their brand and domains are advised to participate in the Sunrise Period of each domain.The Sunrise Period is a 60-day priority registration period that allows trademark holders to secure their brands and domains ahead of the domain’s availability to the general public.
To participate in the Sunrise Period, your trademark needs to be validated via the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). Trademark validation may take up to 34 days so act now before the Sunrise Period ends! Validate your Trademark today!
The closing date for the first batch of January domain extensions ends on March 8, 2014.
