Abstract
Domain Name Registries (DNRs) may operate in special modes forcertain periods of time, enabling trademark holders to protect theirrights during the introduction of a Top-Level Domain (TLD).
One of those special modes of operation is the Sunrise Period. TheSunrise Period allows trademark holders an advance opportunity toregister domain names corresponding to their trademarks before namesare generally available to the public.
This document describes the format of a mark and a digitally signedmark used by trademark holders for registering domain names duringthe Sunrise Period of generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). Three typesof Mark objects are defined in this specification: registeredtrademarks, court-validated marks, and marks protected by statue ortreaty.
