Holders of trademarks in non-ASCII scripts, regional collective marks and other rights holders are also eligible to apply during this phase.

* Nationally or regionally registered trademarks;
* Court-validated marks; and Marks protected by statute or treaty

Validation may take up to 10 days from the date of an application and no domains will be allocated prior to completion of the validation process.
Domain names must be an identical match to the trademark (or other eligible qualification):
* Where non-ASCII characters are contained in the mark, it is possible to apply for domains that are an ASCII transliteration.
* Where both ASCII and non-ASCII characters are contained in the mark, it is possible to apply for domains containing all textual elements of the trademark (or other eligible qualification) with non-ASCII transliterated into ASCII characters.
* Where a trademark certificate includes representations of the same mark in multiple scripts, the corresponding domain may be registered in ASCII characters.
* Where a trademark contains one or more hyphens, these may be omitted, provided that the domain meaning is not altered.
* Company or organisation identifiers (eg INC, KK, etc) may be omitted.
* Trademarks registered in Japanese characters may be transliterated in accordance with Japanese government or global (ISO3602) standards or other generally accepted systems such as the Hepburn system.
