.Med and .Give May Become Fresh Top Level Domain Names

Firm files trademark applications related to fresh top level domain names.

With the possibility of fresh top level domain name applications opening up early next year, a Fresh Jersey firm appears to be expanding its plans to introduce fresh TLDs.

Dot One, Inc., has filed three trademark applications over the past month for top level domain names.

The firm has filed applications for “Dot One”, “Dot Med”, and “Dot Give”.

I’ve found very little information regarding the firm online. But there is a release regarding the firm’s plans to offer .ONE as a top level domain name.

President & CEO, Anthony Ortiz stated “Dot One has developed proprietary technology that tracks internet users’ time spent online and creates donations to the charitable organizations of their choice. In turn, participating businesses on .ONE will have the opportunity to match those contributions and double the amount of giving potential. Users will also get a check every month from Dot One, Inc. for any extra time generated. Where else are you be able to surf the web, give and make money all in the same time? Nowhere! This novel approach will be revolutionary and Dot One will lead the way to micro-giving in a way that is long overdue.”

It seems like one of those pay-to-surf programs of yesteryear, where users viewed ads as they surfed and were paid for doing so.

The firm states it’s working with Minds + Machines for its registry services.

Of course, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office right now will not allow trademarks for top level domain names.
