Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) has been developed by ICANN as a rights protection mechanism that will be used for gLTD registrations. It has been envisioned as a “one-stop-shop” for trademark data and as such will have several important functions, specifically: to perform verification of trademarks, to maintain a database of this information, and to support rights protection mechanisms of new gTLDs. On June 1st, 2012, ICANN announced that they would be working with Deloitte and IBM (which in turn subcontracted IPClearingHouse) to provide the TMCH services in support of the new gTLDs.

# Disputes will be resolved through notices to registrants and mark holders when there are discrepancies in applications. Discrepancies and disputes can come about when applicants do not agree with verifications, third parties don't agree with verifications, or third parties have additional information that will impact a valid trademark record.
