Since its foundation, all activities, services and products of the applicant and its daughter companies are being launched on the market under the UNICORN brand name. The UNICORN brand name is protected through number of trademarks, of which the Czech national trademark No. 184507 UNICORN (word) possesses the priority as of December 21, 1993. A list of UNICORN trademarks of the applicant is attached. Through its long-term and massive use not only on the territory of the Czech Republic, the UNICORN brand name and identical trademarks of the applicant gained good reputation and became well-known among all groups of customers.
The proposed gTLD ".unicorn" is thus the brand domain name enabling applicant to increase UNICORN brand awareness throughout the business community in the world. Registration and use of ".unicorn" domain name will establish certain brand consistency throughout all online social media forums, online search engines, and marketing campaigns. So far the applicant has to use national TLD ".cz" and ".eu", which certainly limits the target group of customers and diminishes effects of applicant's marketing efforts. ".unicorn" domain name will also increase visibility of the brand and the applicant, which means increased recognition, leading to increased confidence and trust in applicant's UNICORN brand.
The proposed gTLD ".unicorn" should also assist applicant to improve communication between users of Unicorn Universe system and their identification. It will enable applicant, its employees, customers, partners and/or suppliers to better share their data and experiences in only one virtual space defined by Unicorn Universe platform. At the end of the day, the system (including ".unicorn" domain name) will comprise fully compatible and communicating group of Unicorn Universe users.
The purposes of the ".unicorn" gTLD are therefore a) to promote applicant and its products and services worldwide (without any geographical limitation); b) to improve the brand consistency and culture of its use; c) to assist applicant in establishing and developing community of Unicorn Universe system users.×
