Premium domain name mega-brokerage, BrandForce, has registered the mark BRAND AS A SERVICE with the USPTO.
The application was filed via their corporate sidekick, Southend Technologies, Inc., that is formed in Delaware. The mark application was filed in 2021 for the following services:
Assistance, advisory services and consultancy in the field of: Acquisition, leasing, renting, ownership, management, monetization, and/or disposition of internet domain names, investment in internet domain names, investment in internet domain names as an asset classification; Financing for the acquisition, leasing, renting, and/or disposition of internet domain names; Escrow services in connection with the acquisition, leasing, renting, and/or disposition of internet domain names; Selection of internet domain names, registration of internet domain names, renewal of internet domain names, development of internet domain names, management of internet domain names, monetization of internet domain names monetization, optimization of internet domain names; Business management consulting and advisory services for the internet domain name industry; Business management services, namely, investment services for individuals and businesses in the acquisition, leasing, renting, ownership, management, monetization, and/or disposition of internet domain names; Business management services, namely, investment services for individuals and businesses in the field of financing for the acquisition, leasing, renting, and/or disposition of internet domain names; Business management services, namely, investment services for individuals and businesses in the field of escrow services in connection with the acquisition, leasing, renting, and/or disposition of internet domain names; Consulting services relating to the analysis, evaluation, creation and establishment of internet domain names, trademarks, and trade names
The mark was cleared for registration at the USPTO and since it was an “intent to use” application, they now have six months to produce a statement of use (SOU) showing the mark in commercial use. The mark’s specimen displayed a page capture of BrandForce.com with the reference to “Brand as a service.”
Interestingly, BrandForce does not own the domain BrandAsAService.com that appears to be available for acquisition via Brandernet.com.
BrandForce is cited as the power-brokerage that sold the domain Connect.com to HubSpot for $10,000,000 dollars last April. The company was co-founded by veteran domain investor Slavik Viner.
