Frequently asked questions about brightest.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for crypto payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

How does trademark priority work for brightest.dot?

If you own a registered trademark matching brightest.dot, your TMCH SMD file can give you trademark-priority access to brightest.dot during the early registration window. This helps brand owners claim brightest.dot before the general public. domain.pay handles SMD submission; learn more at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Is the $100 pre-order for brightest.dot a one-time protection cost?

The $100 figure is the standard pre-order to secure brightest.dot, with failed attempts refundable; ongoing protection then depends on keeping the registration renewed. Treat the pre-order as the entry step to owning the brightest.dot name. See details at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for point-of-sale payments?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
