Can I increase my chances of acquiring my choice of
domain names during Sunrise if I submit multiple applications for the same
domain name with a Registrar?
No. During the Sunrise period, NeuStar will only accept one application
for each domain name based on the corresponding trademark serial number. For
example, if a person submits two applications for the same domain name with a
particular Registrar, and the applications are based on the same trademark
registration (or application), only one of those domain name applications will
be included in the final randomization.
My trademark is currently in the Supplemental
register of the USPTO. Can I apply for a .US domain name during Sunrise based on
this trademark?
No. To be eligible for Sunrise, your trademark application or registration must
be contained in the Principal register at the USPTO.
I own a trademark registration/application based on
a stylized or design trademark. Can I apply for a .US domain name during Sunrise
based on this trademark?
No. To be eligible for Sunrise, your trademark registration or application must
be based on words or textual marks, not logos or designs.
Can I submit a domain name application based on a
service mark during Sunrise?
Yes. For the purposes of Sunrise, trademarks and service marks are
treated the same way.
Is there a list of Trademark International Class
codes to which I can refer when filling out my Sunrise domain name application?
Yes. Because NeuStar requires that a validity check be performed on the Trademark
International Class code submitted with every .US Sunrise domain name
application, the "Trademark International Class" field must contain at
least one of the following valid codes:
Class 1: Chemicals
Class 2: Paints
Class 3: Cosmetics and Cleaning Preparations
Class 4: Lubricants and Fuels
Class 5: Pharmaceuticals
Class 6: Metal Goods
Class 7: Machinery
Class 9: Electrical and Scientific Apparatus
Class 10: Medical Apparatus

Class 200: Collective Trademarks or Service Marks
Class A: Goods Certification Mark
Class B: Services Certification Mark
I have applied for or have registered my trademark
with the USPTO in more than one International Class of Goods or Services. Do I
have to provide a list of all the International Classes of Goods and
Services to NeuStar in my domain name application?
No. You only need to list one International Class of Goods or Services on your
domain name application.
