.XXX Sunrise Period is Setting

The Sunrise Period is setting, with only 10 days left for IP holders to apply to register or exempt themselves from a .xxx domain.

The Sunrise Period is a window to apply for a .xxx domain, which is available to trademark holders that are inside and outside of the adult industry, however it ends on October 28th. 

The next period, Landrush, is only available to the adult entertainment industry. It starts on November 8th and lasts for 17 days, it supports those who don’t qualify for Sunrise A, but want to secure a .xxx domain before General Availability.

"The response to .XXX Sunrise has been fantastic with applications for .XXX domains under both Sunrise A and Sunrise B exceeding expectation by several fold,” says Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry. “Protecting trademarks after Sunrise could prove more difficult, expensive and time consuming, so we are eager to make sure brands and IP holders do not miss the opportunity to safeguard their digital property during this exclusive window."

Applications for the .xxx domain are available through more than 50 accredited registrars, for more information visit the ICM Registry.
