  • Method for a losing registrar to transfer a domain name from the losing registrar to a gaining registrar
    Patent number: 10581799
    Abstract: 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.
