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.

Tommy Hilfiger Wins WIPO Battle Over Domain Name Imitators
Tommy Hilfiger Licensing LLC, a subsidiary of PVH Corporation, secured a victory at the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center after an administrative panel ordered the transfer of nine domain names incorporating the fashion house’s trademark to the company. The domains — which included addresses such as tommyhilfigerpants.com and tommyhilfigerracist.com — had been registered simultaneously in July 2025 by entities using pinyin-style pseudonyms and inactive websites. The panel found that the domains were "confusingly similar" to the TOMMY HILFIGER mark and had been registered in bad faith, pointing to their opportunistic targeting of a globally recognised brand. Respondents failed to mount a defence, further reinforcing the ruling in favour of the complainant. The case underscores PVH Corporation’s ongoing enforcement of its intellectual property portfolio, which includes Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger — brands that, despite pandemic-era setbacks, remain among the most recognisable names in global fashion.

Beiersdorf Targets 'NIVEUS' Trademark in US Dispute
Beiersdorf AG, the Hamburg-based powerhouse behind Nivea, has launched a trademark opposition in the United States against Ziffy Smiles’ application for'NIVEUS', a teeth-whitening kit brand it claims too closely mirrors its iconic portfolio, including 'NIVEA' and 'NIVEA MEN SENSITIVE CALM'. The move underscores the company’s fierce defence of a brand that has become a European household staple and one of the world’s most valuable skincare names. Beiersdorf, which reported €9.9 billion in revenue in 2024, derives much of its strength from Europe, where Nivea dominates a cosmetics market in which skincare alone commands roughly 40 per cent of sales. The company, still under the control of the Maxingvest Group, has evolved from Paul Beiersdorf’s 19th-century medical plaster business into a global consumer goods giant, employing over 22,000 people and running not only personal care divisions but also adhesive technologies through its tesa subsidiary. Nivea’s prominence—valued at €6.12 million in 2024 and ranking as Europe’s top health and beauty brand—makes the challenge to “NIVEUS” more than a legal technicality; it is a strategic stand to preserve the integrity of a name that underpins Beiersdorf’s global dominance.
