Does moonlighter.dot get a trademark claims notice during registration?

When a name like moonlighter.dot matches a TMCH-recorded mark, registrants attempting it can receive a trademark claims notice flagging the existing rights. This warns non-owners before they proceed with moonlighter.dot. The mechanism relies on the same TMCH data behind SMD priority. Learn more and register at https://domain.pay/register.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for fraud prevention?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

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.
