.CLUB Goes Live As Part Of Largest Expansion In Internet’s History
Company Has Inked Deals with More than 50 Registrars World-Wide As The Trademark “Sunrise Period” Begins Today
.CLUB Domains, LLC, the company formed to own and operate the new “.CLUB” generic top-level domain name (gTLD), announced today that it has officially begun its Trademark Sunrise Period, signalling that brands and other trademark owners can now register and buy their own piece of Internet history with a .CLUB web address. .CLUB Domains also announced it has signed agreements with more than 50 registrars around the world, including instra and many more to begin selling “yourname.club” Web addresses to clubs, membership organizations, affinity and loyalty groups, and anyone sharing a common interest or passion.
One of the first 100 new top level domain names to enter the Internet root zone, the .CLUB extension has consistently ranked among the Top 10 of most popular new extensions to be applied for during registrar pre-registration periods over the past several months, making it the first top level domain to come to market that has mainstream global appeal.
“This is truly a historic moment for us at .CLUB Domains, for the Internet at large, and for the millions of clubs, companies and groups that want a better way to market themselves online,” said Colin Campbell, CEO and founder of .CLUB. “As we’ve traveled around the world from Tokyo to Beijing to France and beyond, it was amazing to see the word “club” recognized and used in ads, on signs and throughout every country visited. The more we travel the world, the more we realize that .CLUB truly is a global brand.”
In order to participate in the Sunrise period, the trademark must have been submitted to and validated by the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is a centralized database of verified trademarks maintained by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which is the international organization responsible for managing and coordinating the Domain Name System (DNS).
.CLUB’s Trademark Sunrise period will last 60 days, at which time registrants will be awarded their new .CLUB web addresses. According to Jeff Sass, .CLUB’s Chief Marketing Officer, “During our Sunrise period, we believe it is important for brands and other trademark holders to register their respective trademark.club name, as “www.brand.club” is a logical, memorable and highly marketable domain name for a brand’s community of customers and fans, including their communities on social media.” If there are multiple applicants with rights to the same trademark, the process will proceed to auction, which will be managed by Sedo, the world’s largest domain marketplace. Land Rush for .CLUB web address is set to begin April 1, 2014 and General Availability on May 7, 2014. As per ICANN rules, the first .CLUB web address to go live is the Company’s website at www.nic.club.
Formed in 2012 and backed by $8.2 million from 26 private investors, .CLUB will enable clubs, membership organizations or others sharing a common interest to establish memorable Web addresses and online destinations. Every day, people form communities and groups around every imaginable interest, and .CLUB makes it easier than ever for them to acquire a Web address that is convenient, holds meaning and has marketing value.

Donuts Sales Of Trademark Protection Tool Service Booming
With new gTLDs becoming available to the public for the first time at the end of January, Donuts, the leading applicant for new gTLDs, has announced they are rapidly increasing sales of for its groundbreaking trademark protection tool, the DPML.
Donuts believe the rapid adoption of the DPML by rights holders since its September 2013 launch reflects the tremendous appetite in the trademark community for tools that reduce the cost and challenge of protecting marks in hundreds of new gTLDs. DPML addresses those concerns by allowing registrants to protect their marks in hundreds of domains with a single transaction and at a fraction of the cost of defensive registration.
The service is available for subscription through participating domain name registrars accredited by ICANN. DPML works by “blocking” trademark-related terms from registration at the second level (the characters before the dot). A DPML term is blocked from registration in all Donuts TLDs for an initial subscription of a minimum five- and maximum ten-year term. Subscriptions can be renewed thereafter for one- to ten-year terms.
