The .TEL Sunrise period officially launched this morning at 7:00am PST. The Sunrise period, which continues until February 2, 2009, provides trademark holders an opportunity to protect their trademarks.
An important point to remember is that this period (along with .TEL Landrush and General Registration) is on a first come, first served basis. There may be multiple applications for a trademarked domain being submitted, but only the first will be successful.
A few notes about Sunrise:
- Trademark application date must be prior to May 30, 2008.
- Trademark registration date must be prior to December 3, 2008.
- Applications are considered on a world-wide basis, independently assessed by Deloitte and are awarded on a first come, first served basis.
- Application fee of US$399 applies for all submitted applications whether successful or not. If the application is successful, Webnames.ca will provide a three year registration (minimum term specified by the registry) of the name at no extra charge.
