The registry for domain names ending .us is giving extra time to
those with existing or pending US trade marks to register their
marks as .us domain names in advance of the domain being opened to
the public on a first come, first served basis.
The original deadline for what is known as the Sunrise Period
was today. Instead, trade mark owners are being given until 16th
April. Beginning 24th April, the general public will be able to
register .us domain names.
According to NeuStar, “the increased awareness of .us over the
past couple of weeks, has prompted tremendous response from
companies around the world to protect their trademark interests in
.us.”
