Trademark Clearinghouse Team

The Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) offers protection for your brand in ICANN’s new gTLD program. It performs two essential functions:

  1. Verification Services: TMCH authenticates contact information and verifies trademark records to ensure their accuracy and legitimacy.
  2. Database Storage: Once verified, these trademark records are stored in a secure database, which is accessible to new gTLD registry operators. This enables the provision of Notifications of Registered Name (NORN) to protect trademark holders.

Partners

Validation partner: Appointed by ICANN, we are responsible for providing the Clearinghouse Verification Services, ensuring that all trademark records are thoroughly vetted and authenticated.
