If you are the first applicant to pay the TLD fee and subsequently your trademark/brand is validated, then you are awarded the Infinity Domain™ and can register it.
If you were not the first applicant to pay, your trademark/brand isn’t validated by our third party agent, or your payment doesn’t go through, you will not be allocated the Infinity Domain™ during the Sunrise Period.
However, if no other validated trademark owner registers it during the Sunrise Period - it will become generally available at the end of the Sunrise Period and you can register it then, without any need for trademark validation.
