Frequently asked questions about held.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for online checkout?

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.

What happens to my pre-order if held.dot goes to a trademark holder?

If a trademark holder claims held.dot during the priority window, your general pre-order cannot succeed, and domain.pay refunds the failed attempt per its policy. You are not charged for a name you could not obtain. Refund terms are on /pricing.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for rent collection?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Can held.dot be registered for an internal corporate payment tool?

held.dot can typically be registered for an internal corporate payment or treasury tool, since that use is payment-related and consistent with the .PAY namespace. The registry generally validates relevant use rather than whether the tool is public. domain.pay can register held.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Before choosing wallet.pay, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?

Trademark owners should act before the July 20, 2026 .PAY priority deadline. domain.pay also notes that TMCH support should begin earlier, by July 10, 2026. Check your label and start here: https://domain.pay/register. Late action may push you into later phases.

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.
