What are the benefits of the IP Claim service?
The IP Claim Service is designed to help businesses and individuals protect their trademarks — registered under common law, during the launch of the new .biz top-level domain. There are over 15 million registered trademarks worldwide and many more common names or terms to which you may have a valid claim. Through the IP Claim Service, a trademark or service mark holder or a company, that believes they have a legitimate IP claim, can file their claim with the .biz registry. The claim filing will not guarantee the Claimant the domain name, but it does help warn off so-called cybersquatters and others who might unknowingly infringe on another business intellectual property. When you submit an IP claim through Melbourne IT, you could be entitled to some of the following benefits: • Forces the prospective registrant to acknowledge the claim before going ahead with registration • Sends the claimant contact information about the successful Registrant • Gives the claimant valuable time to act
