Launch Phase: One Single 60-day Launch Phase for 4 Categories

The Launch Phase for .онлаи?н and .саи?т will start on 16 January 2022 13.00.00 UTC and will end on 18 March 2021 13.00.00 UTC. During this single 60 calendar day period, four types or “categories” of applications will be accepted: four categories for registrants with prior rights, and an additional one for applications without priority rights (Landrush). Applications for all these 4 categories will be accepted simultaneously and will be allocated at the end of this single 60-day Launch Phase window according to the hierarchy of priority status of each category. Thus, each category will be completely allocated (i.e. accepted, rejected or sent to contention resolution) before any name on the next category is allocated. Each claim of priority will be individually and thoroughly validated by CORE. Self-declaration will not be sufficient.

The categories are the following,  according to priority status (from top-priority to lesser priority):

    • Priority 1 Category: End-Date Sunrise Period: end-date Sunrise Period for TMCH-validated marks in Cyrillic script.
    • Priority 2 Category: Additional Trademark Limited Registration Period: limited registration period for trademarks in Cyrillic script registered in the OHIM, Bulgaria Macedonia, Russia, Serbia and/or Ukraine.
    • Priority 3 Category: Transliteration Limited Registration Period: limited registration period for transliteration or transcription of Latin-script TMCH-validated marks into Cyrillic-script labels.
    • Landrush: For registrants without priority rights.

Claims Services will be provided from day 1 of the Launch Phase (day 1 of the 4 simultaneous Launch Categories) until at least 90 days from start of General Registration, that is, from 16 January 2022 13.00.00 UTC to 25 June 2021 13.00.00 UTC.

Should there be more than one eligible application for the same domain in this Sunrise Period category, the contention will be solved through an auction process.

1.3 Priority

Applications eligible under this category will be allocated with priority over eligible applications within the next three categories, which are lower in hierarchy.

1.4 Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy (SDRP)

The allocation and/or rejection of Sunrise Period applications may be challenged according to the Sunrise Dispute Resolution Policy (“.САЙТ SDRP”, “.ОНЛАЙН SDRP”).
