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.

Dior Challenges 'KIANNA DIOR' Trademark in U.S., Defending Luxury Identity Against Potential Dilution
On 10 April, Christian Dior filed an opposition in the United States against the trademark application for 'KIANNA DIOR', citing a likelihood of confusion with its globally recognised DIOR brand. The mark in question—filed for entertainment services including live performances and online appearances by professional entertainers—raised concerns over reputational harm and brand dilution, particularly given Dior’s carefully cultivated image in the luxury sector. Following visualisation shows detailed information on the opposed trademark, outlining its classification and claimed services, which Dior argues encroach on its distinctive brand identity. With the French maison investing over €10 billion in advertising in 2023 and enjoying a 91% brand awareness rate among U.S. luxury consumers, Dior’s legal manoeuvre underscores a broader strategy to protect its intellectual property amidst a fast-evolving digital entertainment landscape. Amid strong U.S. consumer loyalty — 73% of current owners say they would buy again—the move signals Dior’s intent to shield its name from association with unrelated industries, particularly where its cultural equity may be at risk.

TotalEnergies Moves to Oppose US 'HYDROSEAL' Trademark as It Safeguards Expanding Industrial Portfolio
TotalEnergies, France’s largest corporate entity and a global energy heavyweight, has filed a request for an extension of time to oppose the US trademark application for 'HYDROSEAL', a mark designated for use on concrete sealers. The move, lodged on 14 April, signals the company’s likely intention to assert prior rights based on its longstanding HYDROSEAL trademark registered in 2007 for a wide range of industrial chemicals, oils, and lubricants used in sectors such as metalworking and concrete processing. Following visualisation compares TotalEnergies’ registered HYDROSEAL mark with the potentially opposed application. As the firm pursues a strategic pivot towards renewable energy—now committing one-third of its capital expenditure to low-carbon assets —securing the integrity of its industrial brand equity remains vital. Despite plans to boost clean energy to 50% of its sales by 2050, TotalEnergies continues to draw its principal income from oil and gas, with its refining and chemicals division generating record revenues in 2023.
