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.

Bayer Faces Mounting Legal Challenges Amid Financial Setbacks
German pharmaceutical and agricultural giant Bayer has encountered substantial legal difficulties, most recently suffering a major defeat with a jury verdict in Georgia awarding $2.1 billion in damages related to its controversial Roundup weedkiller. The verdict comprised $2 billion in punitive and $65 million in compensatory damages, prompting a sharp 6.6% decline in Bayer's shares. The company vehemently disputes the decision, arguing it conflicts with global regulatory consensus supporting glyphosate's safety, and plans to appeal the excessive penalties. Concurrently, Bayer successfully contested numerous infringing domain names under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The domains were ordered transferred to the company, reflecting Bayer's ongoing vigilance against trademark infringement. Nevertheless, the continuous legal skirmishes linked to its Monsanto acquisition, along with unresolved glyphosate litigation, underline persistent reputational and financial risks Bayer must navigate. The following chart showing the distribution and listing of top-level domains (TLDs) used in the disputed Bayer domains.
