I don't understand this statement. I'm unable to register the domain from any registrar, though it showed "available/unregistered" before I attempted to register it. Only after I attempted to register it did it show "unavailable."
- detaro 3y agowhen you tried to register it, as part of the registration flow the registry ran their check against their block database, noticed that it fits a registered pattern, blocked the transaction and marked it as such.
- ccvannorman 3y agothanks, I understand now that the company that owns/controls domain registrations (identity.digital, formerly Donuts and Afilias, allows brands to place pre-holds on any domains that fit a trademark that they own according to some trademark ownership rules. In other words if you own CoolToy trademark, you can use IdentityDigital to prevent anyone from ever registering a domain with cooltoy in the name.
