Company wants patents for verifying a domain’s title history and for its Fast Transfer system.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published two patent applications today that were filed by GoDaddy.
The first is for a way to determine title of a domain name and the likelihood that it has a bad title, either due to theft or ongoing disputes.
The system could also look for unresolved domain disputes (such as a UDRP) and crawl the content of a site to see if it might have been seized by a government agency because of illegal activity.
GoDaddy’s patent application explains that this service could be used to review domain names being offered for sale on the aftermarket.
GoDaddy policy wonk James Bladel is listed as the inventor.
