How do I protect my trademark in nTLDs?

Any trademark holder who wants to participate in any sunrise phase of any nTLD MUST register their trademark with the Trademark Clearinghouse.  The trademark clearinghouse was established as a rights protection mechanism for all trademark holders.  Once your TM is validated by the Trademark Clearinghouse, you will receive a Signed Marked Data, “SMD” file that you will then provide to us when registering your specific TM during the sunrise phase.
