The .asia sunrise period will end Thursday (Jan. 31) with open registration for all comers slated to begin February 20. The sunrise period is for trademark owners to claim names they feel

they are entitled to. In cases where there is more than one TM applicant for a domain, the .asia registry has been auctioning off the rights to those contested domains to the applicant that places the highest bid (the first time this has been done in a new extension sunrise launch). The registry said it received approximately 15,000 sunrise applications with 600 domain names receiving multiple applications. An auction for Tyco.asia ended at $7,600, one for Parliament.asia is still underway with the high bid at last report being $5,200. iPhones.asia and Levis.asia are among other names that are going on the block.
