HelloPrenup, Inc., operators of the premium domain, Prenup.com, have filed for the registration of the matching mark, PRENUP.COM, at the USPTO.
The mark was filed with an intend to use clause, and the mark consists of two interlocking rings with hearts above them to the left of “prenup.com”. The application involves the following services:
- Attorney referral and matching services; Attorney referral services

Registered in 1997, the domain name Prenup.com appears to be heavily under construction, as generic “filler” text is used on several segments.
Prenup.com appears to have changed hands in mid-December 2022, indicating that a sale took place. According to the trademark application, the mark’s owner appears to be Massachusetts attorney, Julia Rodgers, CEO & Co-Founder of HelloPrenup. One could say that the company will be performing a domain rebranding by acquiring Prenup.com.
Applying for the registration of matching marks is an ongoing trend among owners of generic domain names, following the decision by SCOTUS on the Booking.com trademark application.
Since then, dozens of generic domain names have been applied to be registered as trademarks, inclusive of the TLD.
As of January 5th, 2021, BOOKING.COM is a registered trademark with the USPTO.
