The premium name list is a compilation of commonly used ("generic") words and phrases which .Mobi (mTLD, Ltd.) has set aside for equitable allocation using other than a traditional first come first serve basis.

.Mobi's decision to implement a Premium Name list was done to:

* Create a more level playing field in the allocation of tthese names
* Increase the likelihood that these domain names will more promptly provide the mobile community with new features and services
* Preserve the stability and security of registry operations

In cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), .Mobi has developed a Premium Name Application process. The Premium Name Application Process for Trademark Holders will run from September 15, 2006 to October 13, 2006 and will be administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). After the conclusion of this process, .Mobi will begin to allocate the remainder of Premium Names.
