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.

Threads Surges Toward Rivaling X with 300 Million Users
Meta’s Threads has reached 300 million monthly active users, adding 200 million in the past year and solidifying its position as a serious competitor to X (formerly Twitter). This rapid growth—taking less than five months to jump from 200 million to 300 million users—reflects the app’s compounding momentum as it attracts new audiences and fosters broader conversations. While Threads’ daily active user base of 100 million still lags behind X’s 250 million, its trajectory suggests it could rival X’s 570 million monthly active users by early 2025, particularly if growth trends hold. Despite its success, Threads faces challenges in user retention, with a lower ratio of daily to monthly users (33% versus X’s 44%), and in competing as a real-time news platform, where its limited engagement with politics remains a drawback. Nevertheless, the app continues to top iOS download charts, outpacing competitors like Bluesky and X in new downloads. The following chart illustrates the number of monthly active Threads users worldwide as of the fourth quarter of 2024, highlighting its explosive growth trajectory and rising influence in the social media landscape.

Sennheiser Secures Domain Name Transfer in WIPO Dispute
In a decisive ruling, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has ordered the transfer of the domain name <sennheiserstore.shop> to Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG. The German audio technology leader successfully argued that the domain, registered by a U.S.-based respondent, was both confusingly similar to its trademark and used in bad faith. The disputed domain led to a website selling purported Sennheiser products at deep discounts without disclaiming any connection to the company. The panel determined that the respondent’s actions were intended to mislead consumers and exploit Sennheiser’s reputation for commercial gain. Founded in 2002, Sennheiser operates from Wedemark, Germany, specialising in ‘Architectural, Engineering & Related Technical Consultancy Activities’ within the broader ‘Professional, Scientific & Technical Services’ industry. The following chart provides an overview of Sennheiser’s trademark industry portfolio, classified according to the Nice classification system, highlighting the company’s expansive reach and innovative pursuits.
