LONDON and SHANGHAI, Nov. 23,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:
CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights
to accelerate the pace of innovation, today announced that
MarkMonitor Information Technology (Shanghai) Company Limited, a subsidiary under
MarkMonitor™ is now a licensed domain name
registrar in Mainland China. MarkMonitor, a leading corporate
domain registrar, is now able to offer multiple top-level domains
(TLDs) which include .com and .net to companies hosting website
content locally in Mainland China.
Mainland China accounts for
over a fifth of the world's four billion internet users1
and is a vital market for many organizations seeking to expand
their online presence. As a licensed registrar in China, MarkMonitor can help companies enter
this significant online market more easily.
Jeff Roy, President, IP Group,
Clarivate, said, "In today's digital economy, you can't have a
commercial enterprise or launch a new offer without a solid domain
strategy in place. Yet, domains come with security risks, including
infringement, cybersquatting and cyberattacks. At Clarivate, we
offer smart, safe, and secure solutions to manage corporate-sized
domain portfolios – with unparalleled service and guidance. We're
excited to extend these capabilities to Mainland China as part of
our overall regional investment – with a focus on better serving
the local market and helping our customers and partners around the
world to more effectively operate in one of the fastest growing
regions when it comes to Intellectual Property."
As Asia continues to outpace
other regions in IP filings and becomes more innovation driven,
Clarivate continues to accelerate innovation in China and worldwide by offering a more
comprehensive range of IP information and insights solutions.
Last year, Clarivate announced that it is powering White
Rabbit image solutions to better service Chinese trademark
professionals with CompuMark artificial intelligence (AI) and image
recognition (IR) technology, simplifying the process of researching
image trademarks. Now, MarkMonitor becomes licensed to manage

support its customers' ambitions to successfully maintain and
protect their online presence in the country.
