In our last newsletter, we introduced Rightside's DPML blocking service. In case you missed it, we have included a brief introduction of their DPML service below. Please note that the Registry has provided updated pricing to reflect renewals and subscription terms that are now longer than one year.
Rightside DPML Service
The most cost effective and simply way for trademark holders to protect their brand. Using Rightside's DPML blocking, no one will be able to register your trademark. This blocking service only needs to be registered once, and then can be applied easily across multiple top-level-domains like .consulting, .engineer, .social and more! Now available at HEXONET through the Control Panel by going to Manage Products > Domain Block.
What is the DPML?
Rightside has launched its rights protection DPML (Domain Protected Marks List) service for newTLDs. This allows trademark holders to protect their validated trademarks by blocking their trademark and trademark + item strings, without having to defensively purchasing every Rightside NewTLD domain name (saving a lot in registration fees).
How Does it Work?
For brands that are registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), a trademark (TM) holder can use DPML to protect their brand across all current and future Rightside NewTLDs releases. DPML registration applies to an exact trademark match, a variation on a trademark or as a trademark plus a linked term.
Key Benefits of a DPML Block:
- Brand owners can protect their trademarks as well as keywords that contain the trademark.
- Using the DPML is a more cost effective alternative to defensively registering multiple domain names
- A single registration covers ALL of RightSideTM NewTLDs (uncontested).
- A block can be removed (on a per TLD basis) should the trademark holder decide to register the domain (resolve) for use. The so-called override fee to do so is 89.25 * (net price: 75.00) USD plus the applicable General Availability registration price.
