Defensive Services: AdultBlock and DPML
Ascio offers two defensive services that allow your customers to block the registration of their trademark across various TLDs.
AdultBlock and AdultBlock+
With AdultBlock, brand owners can block their trademark from being registered as a domain under the .porn, .sex, .adult, and .xxx TLDs. AdultBlock+ goes a step further to include the ability to block all look-alike variations that appear confusingly similar to the trademarked term. In fact, you can block look-alike variations in 20+ language scripts.
AdultBlock and AdultBlock+ can be registered for one-, three-, five-, and 10-year increments.
