Frequently asked questions about openrange.dot

Is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders for payroll disbursements?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Should I register openrange.dot to protect my brand name?

Registering openrange.dot can help keep your brand openrange.dot consistent across the payments-focused .PAY namespace and reduce the chance someone else uses it. Brand owners with a TMCH SMD file can use trademark priority. Protect openrange.dot by reserving openrange.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?

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.

Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure openrange.dot?

You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim openrange.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of openrange.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for donation payments?

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.

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.
