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.

Swiss Watchmaking Powerhouse Defends Its Brand Online
Switzerland’s watch industry, long synonymous with precision and prestige, remains a global export leader with sales worth CHF 25 billion in 2022, driven largely by luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex and Omega. Yet alongside booming demand, legal battles continue to protect brand equity: in September 2025, Swatch AG, part of the Swatch Group with CHF 6.74 billion in 2024 sales, secured a WIPO ruling transferring the domain store-swatch.com from a Chinese registrant found to be exploiting its trademark for commercial gain. The decision underlines the industry’s vigilance in safeguarding intellectual property even as exports to the US and China dominate and Rolex alone commands nearly 30 percent of the global market. Following chart shows revenue of Swatch Group from 2003 to 2024 (in billion CHF).

Volvo Moves to Block US Filing of 'Vovozanium' Mark
Swedish carmaker Volvo has lodged an opposition in the United States against Shenzhen Kexun Innovation Technology’s application for the mark 'VOVOZANIUM', which covers ultrasonic cleaning units for a broad range of items spanning dental tools, medical devices, tattoo equipment, jewellery, watches and even automotive parts. Volvo argues that the applied-for mark is confusingly similar to its own well-established VOLVO brand, a risk amplified by the overlap in automotive classifications. The company’s case is further bolstered by its recent WIPO filing of a new VOLVO trademark, dated 14 April 2025, extending protection to industrial oils, lubricants, fuels and electrical energy, underscoring its intent to safeguard the brand’s reach across both traditional and emerging markets. Following visualisation shows detailed information on the opposed 'VOVOZANIUM' trademark.
