[jivan]

Hello,

is there a tool to check EU domains availability in bulk?
Thanks in advance

Best regards
Massimiliano

no, eurid wants to make it difficult for us to find out how many of the best domains have been fraudulently registered.

Like you would!

- if you were to allow fraudulent activity;
- if you were pursuing another agenda;
- if you were protectionist;
- if you were incompetent;
- if you were ashamed of yourself and your WhoIs;
- if you did not care;
- if you could!

..but in reality - who knows why they don't offer such a service.

The whole EU liberation is a massive failue of epic Internet proportions imo.

Long live .COM!! ;-)

I've just checked some country names for .eu TLD. Deep impression.
Vatican.eu - accepted reg. for one company, which has country registered TM for "Vatic&an" heh

Andorra.eu - the same company applies with country registered TM for "and&orra" wow

Russia.eu - the same company applies with country registered TM for "ru&ssia" rotfl

etc., etc.

'Willkommen, Mr. Chance' AKA 'Sunrise according to EurID'

I have to agree the sunrise is turning into a farce :angry:

On the other hand I see there are nearly 300 applications for sex.eu, the latest being filed 10 days ago. What a waste of application fees.

Why Eurid didn't convert those "&" into "-" ? Then a company applying with the TM "Vatic&an" would end up with a useless Vatic-an.eu...

You can use whois console tool. it will say you current status w/o captchas.

I got one but because I checked too many names now I have access denied everytime I go on the whois page!

what can I do??? Please help

USA embassy was rejected for USA.eu
instead a Dutch company got saying it had prior TM rights on US&A

Stop whining and start working.

Over the last year I created a list of some 2200 good generic .eu names.
Now I'm putting each and every name through the whois (http://www.whois.eu/whois/GetDomainStatus.htm) by hand, I expect to end up with a list of 300 available names. That's what I'm going to send to EurId this friday.
I guess I'll end up with 30 names AT MOST.
And that'll be a great result.

I did the same but I have been denied access to the whois for too many queries!:crazy:

At EuroDNS we check if there is already a sunrise application, regarding the eurid rules as long a domain is under sunrise you can not apply in landrush. I suggest to do not prereg the sunrise names now for landrush. concentrate on that that are really available, and to be 100% sure check it with www.whois.eu because the reply from the whois server for the registrars is becoming slower and slower. The tool from picobello sounds interesting, I would split it over different IP´s!

Regarding the Sunrise 1 Trademarks here an interesting article:

<
&#8220; the implementation of a &#8220;registration cut off date&#8221; for accepting registered trademarks was discussed.

A large majority did not want to accept such a limitation, not only because there is no support for it in the PPR (Public Policy Rules,) but also because it would disadvantage new companies or new initiatives within existing companies. That this would allow some people to register &#8220;popular&#8221; or &#8220;generic&#8221; names was considered a minor problem since the requested domain names would still need to be protected by an intellectual property right and the main objective of the Sunrise period i.e. to protect those with a prior right, would certainly be achieved.

Sorry eurid but that is no excuse. You could have allowed late trademarks and either:
a) restricted the number allowed to any one person or company - most companies need one or two, not hundreds as taken by the sunrise cheats.
b) ask late trademarks for some additional evidence of legitimate use eg. evidence of business plan

 

[FreddyS]

you should address this to the european commission, Eurid and PWC do only what they got said from the EU.

Thank you Freddy for your comment on my tool ;-)
I would like to add that my tool is - by nature - split over different clients IPs since everyone is using it from its own hosting/server ..... avoiding the bottleneck of a central server running all the requests of everyone.
