Trademark holders urged to apply for their Arabic top-Level domain name
Abu Dhabi, UAE, Wednesday, October 13th 2010 [ME NewsWire]:
trademark holders are urged to apply for their Arabic domain name through Etisalat during the next two months. Etisalat is an accredited registrar with the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) and its offices are staffed with specialists able to help registered trademark holders complete the dotEmarat application process.
The TRA has recently announced the opening of a Sunrise Period for trademark holders to apply for dotEmarat domain names. The Sunrise Period will last for two months and offers an unprecedented chance to target an Arab audience and capitalise on new business opportunities. However, Etisalat cautions that upon expiry of the Sunrise Period non-trademark holders will be able to apply for any domain names not registered within the two month period.
Abdulla Hashim, Senior Vice President Business Solutions, Etisalat said: “Until now there have been challenges in using the Internet to reach specifically Arab audiences. The introduction of Arabic domain names solves this and presents trademark holders with an enormous opportunity. Etisalat urges all registered trademark holders to capitalize on the opportunity and register their dotEmarat domain names in the next two months.”
The Sunrise Period for registered trademarks to apply for dotEmarat domain names will last from October 17 to December 15. Further information on the application process, including details of fees, will be available on the Etisalat website.
