Frequently asked questions about splitting.dot
For fraud prevention, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Can I claim splitting.dot and a hyphenated variant with the same SMD?
An SMD supports priority where the registered domain's label matches your validated mark, so splitting.dot qualifies if its splitting.dot string matches; a hyphenated or altered variant may not. Different strings can require different qualifying marks. Confirm the match for splitting.dot before ordering at https://domain.pay/domains.
When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for crypto payments?
ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I document my trademark to protect splitting.dot?
You record your splitting.dot trademark in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which verifies your rights and issues an SMD file used to claim splitting.dot during priority phases and to receive registration notices. This is the standard route for protecting brand names. https://domain.pay/pricing
