TMCH

In this mul­ti­tude of new exten­sions, it is impor­tant to be informed of domain names deposits con­tain­ing your brands and to be able to pro­tect your­selves.

The pos­si­bil­i­ty giv­en to a third par­ty to cre­ate new exten­sions of first lev­el (new gTLD), rais­es the ques­tion of the trade­marks and pri­or intel­lec­tu­al pro­pri­ety rights pro­tec­tion. That’s why, ICANN decid­ed to cre­ate an inter­na­tion­al data­base of trade­marks: the Trade­mark-Clear­ing­House (TMCH).
