WHAT WE MONITOR
DOMAINS
Overview
We monitor new domain registrations worldwide and promptly inform you when new domains include your trademark. There are hundreds of millions of internet domains—over 100,000 are added every day. We check every single internet domain registration as far as technically possible and immediately notify you of any domain that features your trademark name.
FAQ's
Domain monitoring refers to the regular checks for newly registered, expiring, and expired domain names that are identical or similar to the trademark name of the trademark holder. Trademark holders are alerted to any movement or change regarding domains that are relevant to their business.
You will have an overview of each domain with an identical or similar name. This allows you to ascertain whether the domain inadvertently infringes upon your trademark. This can occur, for instance, when a website under someone else’s ownership is showcasing your product or service. In such cases, you can implement the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, as explained below. Moreover, if the domain does not infringe upon your trademark but you wish to acquire it for future monetisation, you will be duly notified when the domain expires or is nearing expiration. The outputs of monitoring can enable the cancellation, suspension, or transfer of a domain name from previous registrants who infringe upon trademark holders’ rights.
If there is no other means of acquiring a domain with the same or a similar name as your trademark, the last option is to lease the domain and purchase it later. This is why you can utilise our draft, which contains all the essential legal details concerning the rental agreement of domains for business purposes. Our draft can be found in the customer dashboard.
After receiving the reference number, please register on the web portal. Following successful registration, the service will be activated for you. The initial information outputs will be displayed after a few hours.

RAI Files U.S. Trademark Opposition Against ‘RIA’ Over Risk of Brand Dilution in Educational Sector
On 5 May, RAI–Radiotelevisione Italiana, Italy’s state-backed media powerhouse, filed an opposition in the United States against the trademark ‘RIA’, submitted by the Global Association of Risk Professionals, arguing the mark is confusingly similar to its own suite of well-established brands, including ‘RAI ITALIA’, ‘RAI PLAY’, and ‘RAI WORLD PREMIUM’. Although the opposed trademark relates to educational and certification services in financial risk management, RAI contends that the phonetic and visual overlap could undermine its identity—particularly as it expands into streaming and digital content delivery. Following visualisation shows detailed information on the opposed trademark, mapping its classifications and usage scope, which RAI believes could encroach upon the public broadcaster’s reputation. Despite retaining more than one-third of Italy’s TV viewership and producing over 4.2 million hours of streamed content in 2021, RAI has seen a steady decline in traditional prime-time audiences and continues to grapple with digital engagement gaps. The opposition underscores its broader strategy to protect its legacy branding in a competitive multimedia and educational services environment, where convergence increasingly blurs sectoral boundaries.

Microsoft Files UK AI Software Trademark to Expand Reach in Advanced Materials and Data Science
On 17 April, Microsoft Corporation submitted a new UK figurative trademark application, signalling a move into the highly specialised domain of AI-driven materials science and atomic-scale modelling. The trademark covers downloadable software leveraging artificial intelligence and deep learning to simulate material properties, optimise atomic structures, predict phonon dispersion, and model data across a spectrum of physical variables. It also encompasses tools designed for translating, forecasting, and mapping material characteristics, as well as collecting, organising, and analysing scientific data. Following visualisation shows detail patterns of the new Microsoft trademark, illustrating its graphical elements and technological associations. This comprehensive filing marks Microsoft’s push to expand its AI footprint beyond mainstream productivity and cloud services, aiming to empower researchers, scientists, and engineers in fields traditionally reliant on high-performance computing.

Calvin Klein Triumphs in EU Trademark Dispute Over 'CK' - Styled Sign Amid Likelihood of Confusion
On 28 April 2025, the EUIPO Opposition Division upheld Calvin Klein Trademark Trust’s opposition against EU trademark application, filed by Chinese entity, finding a clear likelihood of confusion with Calvin Klein’s established trademark. The contested figurative mark, although attempting to introduce minor visual differentiation — such as a mirrored 'C' and the faint inclusion of the word 'CARRKEN' — was deemed too visually and aurally similar to Calvin Klein’s iconic 'CK' logo. The Division found that the dominant letter pairing, rendered in a nearly identical serif typeface, would likely lead consumers to perceive the contested sign as a stylised variant of the original. Following visualisation compares both trademarks, highlighting the overlapping typographic elements and structural similarities that contributed to the finding of confusion. Given that both marks covered overlapping categories, including eyewear and apparel accessories, and that the earlier mark enjoys normal distinctiveness in the EU, the panel concluded the application must be rejected in full.
