WHAT WE MONITOR
DOMAINS
Overview
We monitor new domain registrations worldwide and promptly inform you when new domains include your trademark. There are hundreds of millions of internet domains—over 100,000 are added every day. We check every single internet domain registration as far as technically possible and immediately notify you of any domain that features your trademark name.
FAQ's
Domain monitoring refers to the regular checks for newly registered, expiring, and expired domain names that are identical or similar to the trademark name of the trademark holder. Trademark holders are alerted to any movement or change regarding domains that are relevant to their business.
You will have an overview of each domain with an identical or similar name. This allows you to ascertain whether the domain inadvertently infringes upon your trademark. This can occur, for instance, when a website under someone else’s ownership is showcasing your product or service. In such cases, you can implement the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, as explained below. Moreover, if the domain does not infringe upon your trademark but you wish to acquire it for future monetisation, you will be duly notified when the domain expires or is nearing expiration. The outputs of monitoring can enable the cancellation, suspension, or transfer of a domain name from previous registrants who infringe upon trademark holders’ rights.
If there is no other means of acquiring a domain with the same or a similar name as your trademark, the last option is to lease the domain and purchase it later. This is why you can utilise our draft, which contains all the essential legal details concerning the rental agreement of domains for business purposes. Our draft can be found in the customer dashboard.

BMW Moves to Defend 'BIMMER' Identity in Latest U.S. Trademark Opposition
On 24 July, the BMW Group filed a trademark opposition in the United States targeting the registration of 'BIMMER TUNING TOOLS' for downloadable software intended for ECU interfacing and engine tuning. BMW asserts that the mark is confusingly similar to its well - established family of trademarks—including 'BMW', 'BIMMER', 'BMW PERSONAL COPILOT', and 'BMW PERSONAL PILOT' — arguing that such proximity risks consumer misperception and brand dilution. This move underscores the German automaker’s uncompromising stance on brand protection, even as it navigates a shifting industry landscape defined by electrification and digital transformation. In 2024, BMW remained the world’s leading luxury car brand despite a decline in revenue to €142.4 billion and a modest contraction in profitability, reflective of wider industry pressures. The group has doubled down on R&D investment and electric mobility, introducing models like the i4 and iX, while maintaining high consumer visibility, particularly in the U.S. and China. Following chart shows Operating profit of the BMW Group from 2020 to 2024 (in million euros), illustrating the financial arc that underpins the group’s strategic positioning in a competitive global market.

Revolut Prevails in Domain Name Dispute as Expansion Intensifies Across Europe and Latin America
As Revolut prepares for a potential IPO and solidifies its banking footprint across Europe, it secured a key intellectual property victory in July 2025. The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center ruled in favour of the UK-based fintech in a dispute concerning the domain name <revolutcolombia.com>, ordering its transfer to Revolut Ltd. The domain had previously been used to promote a purported credit card service accompanied by the message "Revolut is coming", in a manner deemed confusingly similar to Revolut’s registered trademarks. The panel concluded that the domain was registered and used in bad faith, especially given Revolut’s known plans to enter the Colombian financial market. This legal win coincides with Revolut’s broader global strategy: in 2024 it secured a UK banking licence, expanded its customer base to over 52 million, and announced a new headquarters in Paris. With artificial intelligence investment planned for 2025 and France accounting for over 9% of its global app downloads, Revolut is fast entrenching its position as one of Europe’s leading digital financial platforms.
