Sunrise rules for the New gTLD Program
In October 2013, the Trademark Clearinghouse announced new rules for Sunrise periods for New gTLDs that were rolling out as part of the New gTLD Program. There are now two types of Sunrise Periods:
End Date Sunrise
In this type of Sunrise, the Registry can announce the Sunrise as late as the day the Sunrise starts, but must run the Sunrise for 60 days or more. Trademark owners will have the duration of the Sunrise period to submit a claim for a domain. At the end of the period, all the claims are registered by the Registry and auctions are conducted if there is more than one claim for the same domain. This type of Sunrise has significant benefits for rights holders.
