Problem

Your company owns multiple domain portfolios, but do you know if any of your domains are infringing on a brand owner’s trademark? To prevent your company from being sued for fraudulent activity, consider verifying – and correcting – your portfolio before being inundated with serial cease-and-desist letters and legal actions.

Solution

Domainers can utilize CitizenHawk's digital brand management solution, TypoSquasher, to verify, monitor and enforce proper use of the domains in their portfolios. TypoSquasher quickly analyzes large domain portfolios and highlights domains that are close matches to trademarks registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office. TypoSquasher also helps domainers to perform pre-emptive searches prior to portfolio acquisition to identify domains that may present serious legal issues.

Many domainers are also choosing to become part of CitizenHawk’s ‘Entrust’ network to support development of standards for determining when a domain name is unsuitable for inclusion in a member’s domain portfolio or for participation in paid traffic programs. By becoming an ‘Entrust’ partner, domain holders will also be able to work with CitizenHawk to quickly and cost-effectively remove legally questionable domains from their portfolios.
