Frequently asked questions about scissors.dot

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY for a remittance app?

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.

How do I avoid losing scissors.dot to a different trademark holder?

To reduce the risk of losing scissors.dot, record your scissors.dot mark in the TMCH and submit your SMD as soon as the priority phase opens. If another validated holder also claims scissors.dot, the registry's rules decide, so acting promptly matters. Prepare your SMD-backed claim at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for secure payment links?

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.

Why is Amazon Registry Services running .PAY relevant to scissors.dot?

Having an established operator like Amazon Registry Services behind .PAY means scissors.dot sits on professionally run, policy-governed infrastructure. That backing supports the namespace's stability and trust. It is a reason scissors.dot reads as a serious payment address.

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
