Russia To Start Priority Registration of Cyrillic Domain Names in .RF TLD

On November 25, 2009, Russia will start priority registration of Cyrillic domain names on behalf of trademark owners. The priority registration will end on March 25, 2010.

The domain name application must be based on a trademark which is in Cyrillic and which is valid on the date on which a domain name application is filed with the Russian Naming Authority.

The application should be submitted with a copy of the trademark certificate and a copy of the legal entity certificate or an entrepreneur registration certificate.

If the application is based on an International Registration, a certificate showing that the International Registration is valid in Russia should also be submitted.
