Following is a brief as to what you would require for booking a .in domain :

Phase I] Sunrise period - Starting Jan 1st to Jan 21st

In order to protect intellectual property rights of genuine trademark holders, Owners of registered Indian trademarks or service marks who wish to protect their marks will be given the opportunity to apply for .IN domain names before the general public between January 1 to January 21, 2005. This period is known as the sunrise period.

Individuals and Companies located anywhere in the world may apply for a .in domain name during this period as long as they have a Registered Indian Trademark or Servicemark.

If you are a company with a REGISTERED INDIAN TRADEMARK, now is the time for you to ensure that your intellectual property is protected adequately in the .in TLD. After 21st January, anyone will be able to register any .in domain name and you will lose out on the opportunity. Please follow the steps below to register your sunrise domain name


Step 1: Make sure you have a valid sunrise application

In order to be considered valid, a Sunrise application must meet all of the following criteria:

1. The trademark or service mark registration must have been issued by the Registrar of Trademarks, Government of India

2. The trademark or service mark registration must be current (non-expired) and valid, and must have been issued in the applicant's name prior to December 31, 2004.

3. The domain name applied for must be identical to the textual or word elements of the trademark or service mark that is registered

3a. The domain name applied for must be represented in ASCII characters only. Only letters, digits, and hyphens will be accepted in a domain name. No applications for domain names in internationalized script (including diacritical marks) shall be accepted.

3b. Spaces or punctuation that appear in trademark registrations can either be represented in the domain name by a hyphen, or can be disregarded. Similarly, ampersands (&) in the trademark can be disregarded, represented by a hyphen, or represented by the letters "and' (or the equivalent term in the language of the trademark registration, subject to 3a above).

For eg. If your trademark is "Sun-Kiss" you may apply for "sunkiss.in", "sun-kiss.in", "sunkiss.co.in" etc. You MAY NOT apply for "sun.in" or "kiss.in"

4. The applicant must submit proof of its trademark or service mark to the Registry for verification, as per the proof of trademark guidelines.

5. Make sure that your domain name is not present in the list of reserved names. This list may be downloaded at : www.spidercreation.com/reserved-names.pdf

6. Applications must conform to general Registry registration policies. For example, domain names shorter than 3 characters or longer than 63 characters are not accepted, nor are domain names that begin or end with hyphens.

7. Only letters, digits, and hyphens will be accepted in a domain name. No applications for domain names in internationalized script (including diacritical marks) shall be accepted.
