Frequently asked questions about kats.dot

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for invoice collection?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is the simplest summary of how to claim kats.dot as a trademark holder?

In short: record your kats.dot mark in the TMCH, download the validated SMD file, and submit it through NicNames during the priority phase to claim kats.dot ahead of the public. If you lack an SMD, a standard pre-order for kats.dot at $100 is the fallback. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for an event ticketing business?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

What is the difference between standard and first-day pre-order for kats.dot?

A first-day pre-order targets kats.dot for the very first day of general availability, while a standard pre-order at $100 simply queues your request for kats.dot whenever it opens. Both are submitted to the registry on your behalf. Compare options for kats.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a new domain option for mobile wallet teams for a mobile wallet team?

.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

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.
