APPENDIX ‘G’ – .NAME DEFENSIVE
REGISTRATIONS SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
If the Order is a
.NAME Defensive Registration, the Registrant, must also agree to the following
terms:
1. DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
Defensive
Registrations allow owners of nationally registered marks to exclusively
pre-register on the .NAME space and create a protective barrier for their
trademarks. A "Defensive Registration" is a registration granted to a
third party of a specific string on the second or third level, or of a specific
set of strings on the second and third levels, which will not resolve within
the domain name system but may prevent the registration of the same string(s)
on the same level(s) by other third party applicants.
2. PHASES OF DEFENSIVE REGISTRATIONS
(1) As a Defensive
Registration Registrant ("Defensive Registrant"), you hereby certify
to the best of your knowledge that for Phase I Defensive Registrations
("Phase I Defensive Registrants"), you own valid and enforceable
trademark or service mark registrations having national effect that issued
prior to November 19, 2013 for strings that are identical to the textual or
word elements, using ASCII characters only, subject to the same character and
formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD. You
understand that trademark or service mark registrations from the supplemental
or equivalent Registry of any country, or from individual states or provinces
of a nation, will not be accepted. Subject to the same character and formatting
restrictions as apply to all registrations in the Registry TLD, if a trademark
or service mark registration incorporates design elements, the ASCII character
portion of that mark may qualify to be a Phase I Defensive Registration.
(2) Phase II
Defensive Registrants may apply for a Defensive Registration for any string or
combination of strings.
(3) Defensive
Registrants, whether Phase I or Phase II shall comply with the following
Eligibility Requirements, available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm the summary of which is as
follows:
(i) There are two
levels of Defensive Registrations, each of which is subject to payment of a
separate fee;
(ii) Multiple persons
or entities may obtain identical or overlapping Defensive Registrations upon
payment by each of a separate registration fee;
(iii) The Defensive
Registrant must provide the information requested in Section 3(i) below;
(iv) A Defensive
Registration will not be granted if it conflicts with a then-existing Personal
Name Registration or other reserved word or string.
3. PROVISION OF REGISTRATION DATA
As part of the
registration process, you are required to provide us with certain information
and to update this information to keep it current, complete and accurate. You
must provide contact information, including name, email address, postal address
and telephone number, for use in disputes relating to the Defensive
Registration. You understand and agree that this contact information will be
provided as part of the Whois record for the Defensive Registration. You
further understand that the foregoing registration data may be transferred
outside of the European Community, such as to the United States, and you
expressly consent to such export.
In addition to the
information provided in subsection 1. above, Phase I Defensive Registrants must
also provide:
(i) the name, in
ASCII characters, of the trademark or service mark being registered;
(ii) the date the
registration issued;
(iii) the country of
registration; and
(iv) the registration
number or other comparable identifier used by the registration authority.
4. DISPUTE POLICY
If you registered a
Defensive Registration, you agree that:
(1) the Defensive
Registration will be subject to challenge pursuant to the Eligibility
Requirements Dispute Resolution Policy ("ERDRP");
(2) if the Defensive
Registration is successfully challenged pursuant to the ERDRP, the Defensive
Registrant will pay the challenge fees; and
(3) if a challenge is
successful, then the Defensive Registration will be subject to the procedures
described in Section 2(h) of Appendix L to the agreement of Global Name
Registry ("Registry Operator") with the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm
(4) if a Phase I
Defensive Registration is successfully challenged on the basis that it did not
meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements, the Defensive Registrant will
thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its expense, that it meets the
Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive Registrations for all other
Phase I Defensive Registrations that it registered within .NAME through any
Registrar. In the event that the Defensive Registrant is unable to demonstrate
the foregoing with respect to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those
Defensive Registration(s) will be cancelled;
(5) The ERDRP applies
to, among other things, challenges to Defensive Registrations within .NAME and
is available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm
5. CONSENT
Defensive Registrants
may be asked to give their consent to allow individuals to share a part of
their space. For example, if you have filed a Defensive Registration on PQR (which
blocks out ANYSTRING.PQR.name and PQR.ANYSTRING.name), you may be asked to give
consent to John Pqr to register JOHN.PQR.name if he can prove that PQR is his
name. In such a circumstance, you will have five (5) days to respond to a
request for consent.
