The [[Trademark Clearinghouse]] (TMC or TMCH) is a database of trademarks that will be established by [[ICANN]] in order to enhance the protection of [[Intellectual Property|intellectual property]] on the Internet. The main role of TMCH is to serve as a central repository for the information related to the rights of trademark owners to be stored, authenticated and distributed. When a customer attempts to register a new domain and the domain matches up with a trademark existing in the TMCH, the customer will receive a warning that the creation of the domain may be considered [[cybersquatting]]. <small><strong>([[Trademark Clearinghouse|Read full article...]])</strong></small>

A '''registrar''' has direct relationships with domain name [[Registry|registries]] and is authorized to sell domain names. In order to become a registrar, one has to be accredited through ICANN, which requires that they meet certain business and technical requirements.
