New Internet Domain Arriving in July for Accounting Professionals Trademark Owners Have One Month to Protect their Intellectual Property Apr. 29, 2003 The .Pro Internet domain will soon be available to accountants, lawyers and doctors who have heightened confidentiality obligations in securing online communications such as client correspondence, patient information, court, tax, and insurance filings." The initial .Pro Domains will be CPA.Pro, Law.Pro and Med.Pro. All registrants must provide proof of their eligibility in order to qualify for a .Pro domain. In return, they are issued a digital certificate that will authenticate their online communications.
EnCirca, Inc., registrar for the .Pro Internet domain, yesterday launched the Sunrise Period for .Pro defensive name registrations. The Sunrise Period gives registered trademark holders an opportunity to protect their brands in the .Pro domain before it becomes available for public registrations. The Sunrise Period ends on June 1.
EnCirca is also accepting pre-registrations for the Open Registration Period. This allows accountants, lawyers and doctors who do not qualify for the Sunrise Period to apply for their desired domain names in advance. July
1 is the planned launch date for professionals who want to register their .Pro domain name.
"For the first time, professionals will be able to utilize the same security technology that the leading e-commerce websites use to interact with their customers," said Thomas Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of EnCirca. "This is accomplished via digital certificates that encrypt all data communications involving client and patient information," according to Barrett. |
