Trademark Clearinghouse

The Trademark Clearinghouse is a global database that helps protect trademark owners' rights in the domain name system. When a new internet domain is created, registrars check this database to see if a name matches any registered trademarks. This helps prevent unauthorized use of trademarks online and allows trademark owners to secure their rights. It also notifies them if anyone else tries to register a domain similar to their trademark, providing an additional layer of protection. Essentially, it's a safeguard for brand owners in the digital space.
