ICANN requires Registrars to notify applicants, in the first 90 days after the Sunrise Period for any new gTLD, if the name they're trying to register has a pre-existing Claim in the Trademark Clearinghouse. A Registrar must obtain the relevant claim information from the Registry and the TMCH and display a notice to the applicant, real-time, upon check availability.

Implemenation

1. Registrars need to obtain their TMDB credentials from ICANN/TMCH, and these credentials will be used to check the Claim status. Certain tests must be performed to obtain TMDB certification before the Registrar's credentials can be used.

2. During the check availability of a domain name in the claims period, if the name matches a label registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse, the Registry will provide a lookup key to the Trademark Clearinghouse database. The system will obtain the lookup key and return it as a Token.

   • On the Supersite, existence of a Trademark Claim will be indicated while adding the domain name to the shopping cart.

   • API users will receive the Claim status and Token as additional response parameters with the domain name check availability call.

3. Display of Claim Notice:

   • While adding the domain name to the shopping cart, the SuperSite will display a Claim Notice with the Trademark Claim as obtained from the Trademark Clearinghouse database.

   • API users will pass a separate call to obtain the Claim Data.

4. The Claim Notice will explain to the applicant the significance of the Claim, and will require the applicant to agree that his / her / their registration of the domain name does not infringe on the Trademark rights listed in the notice.

5. If the applicant does continue with the registration, appropriate confirmation needs to be sent to the Registry.

   • The SuperSite will handle sending of the confirmation to the Registry.

   • API users will pass this extra information through the Domain Name Register API call.

When new Top-Level Domain (TLD) extensions are being launched, they typically begin with a 30 to 60 day period called Sunrise Period. During the Sunrise Period, Domain Names can not be registered by the general public, but only by those who hold a Trademark for a particular string or term. This allows Trademark holders to secure the domain name that matches their Trademark, and prevents it from being registered for fraudulent or malicious purposes.

In the Sunrise Period, the Registration of a Domain Name requires the applicant to provide some proof of their Trademark matching the name being registered. The exact proof required depends on the Registry that operates that TLD. The allocation of Domain Names also depends on the Registry itself - a Domain Name may be allotted on first come, first serve basis, or at the end of the Sunrise period. In the latter case, if there are multiple applicants with a valid Trademark for a particular string, the Domain Name may be put up for a private auction where both applicants would bid for the right to register the Domain Name.

About the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)

Starting October 2013, the Sunrise Period for any new Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) is expected to be served through a special Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) as mandated by ICANN, the governing body for Domain Names. A Trademark holder who wishes to register their Trademark name with any new gTLD is expected to first register their Trademark with the TMCH. When the TMCH reviews and validates their Trademark, the holder is allotted a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file that acknowledges their Trademark. This SMD file must be used by the holder as their proof while registering Domain Names in the Sunrise Period for any new gTLD that launches. The Trademark holder is not expected to supply any additional proof if they have a valid SMD file.

About the Signed Mark Data (SMD) File

The SMD file contains the below details:

• Marks: The Trademark(s) that the SMD file refers to

• smdID: A unique identifier for the SMD file

• U-labels: The strings that the Trademark holder can use to register domain names in the Sunrise Period

• notBefore: The start of validity of the SMD file

• notAfter: The end of validity of the SMD file

• Encoded SMD file: The actual SMD file is encoded between -----BEGIN ENCODED SMD----- and -----END ENCODED SMD-----. You should not modify your SMD file, as this may render the SMD file invalid.

Sample SMD File


Marks: Tm1 & Tm2

smdID: 001234

U-labels: tm1-tm2, tm1tm2

notBefore: 2013-12-09 09:00

notAfter: 2017-11-24 09:00
