DPML Block

Block domain registrations of your trademarked terms in over 300 domain extensions with the Domains Protected Marks List (DPML).

DPML domain blocking is the modern approach to brand protection

Defensively registering domain names is good practice to prevent cybersquatting and other brand-related abuse. However, with the massive number of top-level domains available, organizations must make difficult decisions about which domains to register while also trying to be cost-effective.

The DPML domain blocking service offers a unique solution, allowing trademark owners to block domain registrations matching their trademarks in over 300 domain extensions for a fraction of the cost of registering each domain individually.

Block domain registrations matching your trademark with DPML.

How DPML works

All Identity Digital top-level-domains.
The protection of your brand applies to all Identity Digital top-level domains for the duration of your DPML subscription. See the full list of covered domains.

Blocks the exact match.
DPML blocks the exact match of your trademark or a term that contains your exact match trademark, including homographs. Homographs Homographic protection stops people from registering malicious domain names that are visually similar to your brand but uses different characters. This is a powerful feature because homographs look almost identical to the real domain names and leave your brand vulnerable to phishing scams and brand abuse. Learn More

Domains become inactive.
Domains blocked by DPML are inactive until you decide to put them to use for your business. You can unblock domains at any time for no additional cost.

How does DPML benefit trademark holders?

Greater coverage.
A single DPML subscription replaces the need for hundreds of domain registrations by blocking your exact match trademark, terms including your trademark, and homographs. With DPML+ you also get protection against misspellings and additional strings.

Less maintenance.
Save time registering domain names individually and redirecting traffic to your main website. Domains blocked by DPML are not live on the Internet and therefore don't require the involvement of your IT team.

Flexible options.
Just because your organization doesn't have plans for a domain name now doesn't mean you won't in the future. DPML allows you to unblock unlimited domains for use and block additional strings or keywords that contain your trademark for an added fee.
