Why OrdiPat

A well-kept portfolio, well-defended rights

Loose management of your domain names exposes your organisation to legal, reputational and financial risks:

  • A name lost through a missed renewal
  • An imitated brand
  • A phishing site
  • Email that stops working

Our teams combine technical expertise with a solid command of domain name law to offer portfolio managers and specialist firms a higher level of service, from registration through to litigation.

  • Accredited registrar

    AFNIC for .fr, EURid for .eu, Nominet for .uk; other extensions through accredited registrars.

  • Legal and technical expertise

    Specialists in domain names, trademarks and recovery procedures, in the same team.

  • An expert on the line

    An imminent expiry, an ongoing attack, a decision to take within 48 hours: you reach an expert directly, not a call centre.

  • Suited to your organisation

    Structured reporting, validation procedures and renewals according to your instructions.

Services

Everything we take care of

From the day-to-day management of your portfolio to the defence of your rights, with a single point of contact.

Managing your portfolio

Registering, renewing and consolidating your domain names, across every extension.

  • Registration and transfer

    Your domain names registered or transferred across all generic, country-code and new extensions, in line with your brand strategy, with structured reporting for large portfolios.

  • DNS management

    DNS zones, DNSSEC and redirections, managed from your IPR2 client portal, with support from our teams for sensitive configurations.

    Go to the client portal
  • Searches and audits

    Availability checks before any registration, and audits of the names already registered that reproduce, contain or resemble your brand, across all extensions or in a targeted area. Trademark prior-art searches are carried out by Acumass, the group company.

  • Deadlines and renewals

    Deadline tracking across your whole portfolio, early alerts and renewals according to your instructions, so that no name is lost through a simple oversight.

  • Backorders

    Is a strategic name held by a third party close to expiry? We place a backorder to try to register it in your name as soon as it becomes available again, ahead of competitors or cybersquatters.

  • Trademark Clearinghouse

    As an accredited agent, we record your trademarks with the Trademark Clearinghouse: access to the priority registration (sunrise) periods of new extensions, and a notification when a third party registers a name identical to your trademark during the launch period.

Defending your rights

Detecting abuse early and recovering what is yours.

  • Typochecker monitoring

    Continuous detection of typosquatting and cybersquatting: variants of your names, already registered or still available, with real-time alerts.

    Discover Typochecker
  • Domain name recovery

    Is a competitor, a cybersquatter or a former provider holding a name that is yours? We negotiate its buy-back or bring the appropriate procedure: UDRP or URS for generic extensions, SYRELI or PARL Expert for .fr, ADR for .eu…

  • Complaints and procedures

    From the initial evidence to the decision: drafting the complaint, building the evidence file, filing with the competent body (WIPO, AFNIC…), following the procedure and enforcing the decision. Partner firms can instruct us on behalf of their clients.

Beyond the domain name

Putting your names to work: email, hosting and websites.

  • Custom email addresses

    Professional mailboxes on your own domain name, configured and managed by us, including multi-domain setups.

  • Website hosting

    Dependable, secure hosting, sized according to how critical your websites are and to your organisation’s requirements.

  • Website creation

    From a corporate redirection page to a complete website: design, launch and support after go-live.

Would you rather manage a domain name, hosting or a mailbox yourself? Rapidomaine, the group’s self-service platform

Brand monitoring

Typochecker: typosquatting and cybersquatting monitoring

Every day, third parties register variants of your domain names to imitate you, compete with you or defraud your customers and partners. This typosquatting, one of the most common forms of cybersquatting, is often used for phishing and brand impersonation.

Typochecker, the brand monitoring solution developed by OrdiPat, continuously detects and monitors the whole spectrum of suspicious registrations, whether already registered or still available.

  • Typos

    Swapped, missing or doubled letters: the input errors that typosquatters exploit.

  • Spelling variations

    Hyphens, plurals or accents added to or removed from your brand.

  • Homoglyphs

    Look-alike characters (rn for m, 0 for o) that deceive the eye.

  • New extensions

    Your brand registered under extensions you do not hold, including new generic extensions.

Detected variants yourbrand.com
  • yuorbrand.com Typo
  • y0urbrand.com Homoglyph: 0 for o
  • your-brand.com Spelling variation
  • yourbrand.shop New extension

Fictitious examples, for illustration.

  1. Detection

    Continuous monitoring of names already registered or still available.

  2. Alert

    You are notified in real time, before any harm is done.

  3. Action

    Amicably or through a recovery procedure (UDRP, SYRELI…).
