New Domain Block Launch – GlobalBlock

The Brand Safety Alliance has launched GlobalBlock, a domain blocking service, providing brand owners the opportunity to block their marks from being illegitimately registered with 500+ gTLD and ccTLD domain extensions in a single transaction. For $4,700 per year, a GlobalBlock registration will cover a single exact match 'string' (i.e., your mark or company name) with all available extensions covered by the block. For $7,500 per year, GlobalBlock+ will cover variations of a mark where a single character is swapped (e.g., the Greek alpha (ɑ) for the letter A), but not other common types of typosquatting. The full list of covered TLDs and brand protection calculator can be found on the registry's website.
