Frequently asked questions about kabuto.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a mobile wallet team?

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.

Should I pre-order kabuto.dot or wait for general availability?

Pre-ordering puts kabuto.dot in the queue for the first day of registration, which matters for sought-after labels that may go fast. Waiting risks someone else securing kabuto.dot first, while a pre-order is refundable if it fails. Weigh it and pre-order kabuto.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for a retail brand?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Will buying kabuto.dot via priority protect me from future disputes?

Securing kabuto.dot via a valid SMD establishes your validated-rights claim during launch, which strengthens your position, but it does not waive the registry's or ICANN's separate dispute mechanisms. TMCH priority is launch protection for kabuto.dot, not a blanket immunity. Use it as a first line of defence. Claim kabuto.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for fraud prevention?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
