The Data Centre holds all the cases related to IPR validation, which have been given the ‘Verified’ status by the Validation Centre. It provides a reference number which works as an identification number for the term and owner. The Data centre also saves all the copies in Escrow and operates in a database known as the ‘WhoHas’ in which third party people can look up the records. It also supports any Accredited Registrar by providing a case reference number to it so that it can be used in a registration request. It also pushes lists of the ‘Verified’ cases to registries which are in accordance of the eligibility requirements of that registry. It also supports the IP Claims process by sending out the IP Claims whenever a third party applies for a ‘Verified’ term that is stored in the Data Centre. The Data Centre of the TMC doesn’t award the domain name registrations nor does it prioritize any ‘Verified’ case over the others. It also doesn’t provide disadvantage to any of the ‘Verified’ case as it is not ASCII script nor does it support front-running. <ref name="link4">[http://www.comlaude.com/TrademarkClearinghouse.pdf comlaude.com]</ref>
