What is the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH)?
ICANN introduced the TMCH to create a single database of authenticated and registered trademarks, and is designed to safeguard the rights and intellectual property of brand owners and allow all new gTLD registries to connect to one authoritative database. If a brand holder wants to ensure they register a particular new gTLD before anyone else, they have to register their mark in the TMCH. The TMCH ensures that brand owners are notified if a TLD request infringes on their registered trademarks.

In addition to the comprehensive verification and submission of your trademark information to the TMCH repository, NetNames’ extended service also includes:
Protection against non-exact trademark violations: |
The TMCH only provides notice of exact match domain registrations. Netnames also provides protection against all domains registered that contain your trademark, including partial matches (i.e. cheaptrademark.tld as well as trademark.tld) |
Extended monitoring across all TLDs: |
New gTLDs will not be the only concern of band holders. Registrations of existing gTLDs and ccTLDs will still continue to present problems for brands. NetNames monitors for potential infringements across ALL available TLDs. |
Extended monitoring for the lifetime of the TMCH registration: |
The period of TMCH monitoring means that infringements will only be reported for a limited time period. NetNames notifies when a domain that contains a trademark, or partial match of a trademark is registered beyond the mandated 90 day period after launch. |
Extended alerts: |
NetNames distributes warning notices to multiple recipients within organizations, preventing a single point of failure. |
Early registrations: |
The opportunity to register or block domain names corresponding to TMCH validated marks during ICANN’s Sunrise period for total peace of mind. |
