.ketchup Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .ketchup Domain

The .ketchup string is an ordinary English noun naming a specific condiment, applied for in ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program by a packaged foods manufacturer. It sits in the round's most contested territory: a common word that is also a product category, where the applicant's recognition is strong enough that the two are colloquially interchangeable.

Applications of this shape sharpened the closed-generic debate considerably, since granting a food category term to a single manufacturer forecloses it for every other producer, restaurant, and retailer in the category. The extension is not currently active in the DNS root zone and is not available for registration by any party.
