Domain Name YouReFired.TM now available for Registration
by Anonymous

London April 17, 2004--The .TM suffix, the Internet name space of choice for companies with Trademarks involved in e-commerce (www.Domain.TM) reminds individuals or companies willing to trademark a word or an expression that they can also use a .TM name on the web.

"Trademarks are everywhere today, especially in television" comments Jean-Christophe Vignes, Registry Liaison Manager, for the .TM Domain Registry. “Since Mr Trump recently expressed his desire to register ‘You’re fired’ as a trademark, we are happy to tell him he can also register the sentence as a TM Domain name to get the best level of protection in the Internet and attract faithful viewers on the Web”.

The .TM Domain name space has been developed in collaboration with the Worldwide Intellectual Property Organization to serve as a home for trademarks and tradenames on the Internet. The Registration is valid for ten years which should be enough to cover future seasons of the TV show. And since more meaningful and shorter domain names are available in the .TM space than in other more COMmon extensions, “Fired.TM” can also be registered, as well as “Friends.TM” or “Angel.TM” for fans willing to express their support to other programs that will not be returning next year.

"Our domain names work everywhere, without any plug-in or modification. Because .TM Domain names are available on a first come first served basis however, Mr Trump should act fast or other holders of similar marks might register it before him!" concludes Vignes.

About .TM:
.TM names are already used by more than a third of the world's 100 most well known brands. The .TM name space is significantly more valuable than the more COMmon ones thanks to 10-years Registration policy co-developed with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (UN treaty based organisation for the promotion and protection of Intellectual Property) to fight cyber squatting. Fortune 500 companies such as Rolex, Chanel, Google and Microsoft use .TM domain Names in association with their registered Trademarks to build consumer confidence and further brand recognition. www.Domain.TM
