NameBlock is launching. Soon, you or your clients will be able to proactively protect your company's name and brand by blocking domain name registrations by others.
For example, I can place a block on my company's name, "Hartzer". No one will be able to register a domain name that includes "Hartzer" in the name (along with a ton of other 'variations' of that name).
This is great news for companies and brands, especially brands that have their websites regularly copied or their products being sold on unapproved or fake websites.
No trademark necessary to place a block.
