Trademark
Clearinghouse
the most important rights protection mechanism built for protecting brands against new domains
LEARN MOREHow it works
By validating your brand name within the ICANN administered Trademark Clearinghouse, you will have the first option to purchase non-disputed domain names across every new Top Level Domain being released. One application provides access to the sunrise period for all of the thousands of new TLD's, prior to public availability.
Validate Trademark
America Registry is an official agent of the clearinghouse - We help submit your trademark to be validated, both prior to and during the launch of new gTLDs.
Access Sunrise
Once validated you are granted access to participate in every Sunrise period of the new TLDs. This period gives first priority in registration to trademarks.
Receive Notifications
Registrants are warned when attempting to register your validated trademark name. The Clearinghouse will notify you if infringing registrations are ever completed.

What happens if I don’t register my trademark?
Without access to sunrise periods, you will have to try your luck competing against everyone else for your brand name when each of the thousands of domain extensions reach general availability.
Sunrise Periods
The Sunrise Period is a compulsory period of at least 30 days during which only trademark owners can purchase URL’s with each new TLD, prior to them being available to the general public.
