Frequently asked questions about engadget.dot

What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for point-of-sale 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.

What should I do if I discover someone already registered engadget.dot?

First gather proof of your rights in the engadget.dot mark and evidence of how engadget.dot is being used. If it appears registered in bad faith to impersonate NicNames, a UDRP-style complaint may be an option, though results vary. Document everything before acting. https://domain.pay/

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

.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.

Can I use a foreign trademark to claim engadget.dot via TMCH?

The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts marks from many jurisdictions worldwide, so a qualifying foreign trademark can be recorded and produce an SMD for claiming engadget.dot. The mark must be validated by the TMCH and match the engadget.dot string. NicNames then honours that SMD for priority on engadget.dot. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
