About GlobalBlock and GlobalBlock+
Brand Safety Alliance is the sponsor and GoDaddy Registry is the backend provider for the GlobalBlock and GlobalBlock+ products.
Blocking is a proven method to protect IP in a cost effective and efficient manner; taking a verified right and preventing the registration of a domain. The GlobalBlock product instantly blocks all available names matching a particular brand in hundreds of domain extensions simultaneously. GlobalBlock is limited to "exact match" of the brand to avoid blocking domains that may impact availability for future registrants.
With your brand protected by GlobalBlock you;
- Prevent anyone registering the name across hundreds of TLDs
- Blocks both Standard and Premium name matches
- The block name is "owned" by you, the brand owner
- Privacy is maintained, with no public record of ownership
- It is available only to verified rights owners
- Includes priority AutoCatch of deleting matches
GlobalBlock is designed to block registrations across over 600 ccTLDs and gTLDs, GlobalBlock will block all corresponding available domains irrespective of the price point and will automatically block any additional dropped names while the block service is in place.
Corresponding domains that are currently registered cannot be blocked until the name is deleted or expires. Once the redemption period has ended and the domain name becomes available, the domain name will be automatically added to the block for the remainder of the service period.
Who can register GlobalBlock or GlobalBlock+?
Currently GlobalBlock products are only available to verified rights holders. Get in touch with our Business Care Team to discuss your needs.
