Patent number: 10834076Abstract: An Internet resource provider (IRP) may authenticate a user and, upon a successful authentication, allow the user to perform one or more actions on webpages that are within an account of the user. The IPR may store the most recent actions of the user in a temporary access code (TAC) database. If the user has a problem, the user may select a TAC button on a webpage within the account of the user. The IPR may generate a TAC, store the TAC in association with the recent activities of the user in the TAC database and transmit the TAC to the user. The user may contact and provide the TAC to a customer support service center. The customer support service center may authenticate the user based solely on the TAC and determine the one or more recent actions of the user in the TAC database. The customer support service center may provide assistance to the user based at least partially on the one or more recent actions of the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: Arnold Neil Blinn, Mitchell Dean Olson, Jacob Louis Brooks, John Basyl Kercheval

Patent number: 10601774Abstract: A domain name hi-jack prevention service may be selected by a domain name registrant and enabled by a Registrar. In a first embodiment, the Registrar may send a confirmation request via a preferred contact method to the registrant and only move the domain name from a first account to a second account (both managed by the Registrar) when the registrant confirms the request. In a second embodiment, a third party platform that is independent from and/or not the Registrar confirms the identity of the registrant before the Registrar moves the domain name from the first account to the second account (again, both managed by the Registrar). In a third embodiment, a third party platform communicates an authorization code to a verified registrant so the registrant can enter the authorization code with a Gaining Registrar so the domain name may be transferred from a Losing Registrar to the Gaining Registrar.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: Sarah Ptalis, Paul Nicks, Frank Taylor

Patent number: 10581799Abstract: A registrant, after registering a domain name at a losing registrar, may request at a gaining registrar that the domain name be transferred to the gaining registrar. The gaining registrar may verify that the domain name is registered to the registrant, available for transfer and the person requesting the transfer is in fact the registrant. The gaining registrar may provide evidence that the registrant was authenticated to the losing registrar and request a registry to transfer the domain name to the gaining registrar. Upon the registry confirming the validity of the request with the losing registrar, the registry may transfer the domain name to the gaining registrar. This method allows the registrant to transfer the domain name, after registering the domain name at the losing registrar, to the gaining registrar entirely from the gaining registrar. In other words, the registrant does not need to communicate with the losing registrar during the transfer process of the domain name to the gaining registrar.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: Sarah Phoenix, Arun Krishnasamy, Raja Ravi Teja Panidepu, Brian Kirsten, Kevin Allendorf, Karen Munoz, Chitra Yarlagadda, Tanmay Patil

Patent number: 10541968Abstract: A registrar may authenticate a registrant and allow the registrant to access a registrant customer account. The registrant customer account is private (accessible only by the registrant) and displays domain names and/or settings for the domain names registered to the registrant. The registrant may change domain name settings, such as renewals or DNS, from the registrant customer account. The registrar may generate one or more suggested domain names that are derived from the one or more domain names registered to the registrant. When the registrar detects an interest in a domain name registered to the registrant, the registrar may immediately thereafter display one or more suggested domain names that were derived from that domain name registered to the registrant for registration. If selected by the registrant, the registrar may register the selected suggested domain names to the registrant through a registry.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Go Daddy Operating Company, LLCInventors: James Bladel, Richard Merdinger, Kevin Kreuser, Peter Osmond
