.emerck domain extension

.emerck is a branded generic top-level domain operated by Merck KGaA, the German science and technology company. It was delegated in 2014. The domain is intended for official use by Merck KGaA and its affiliated companies. Registration is restricted to the brand owner and its subsidiaries, meaning the general public cannot register .emerck domains. The sponsoring organisation is Merck KGaA, based in Darmstadt, Germany. The registry services are provided through Identity Digital. The administrative contact is located at Merck KGaA's headquarters in Darmstadt. The domain was established to strengthen the company's online identity and provide a secure namespace for its digital assets. The WHOIS server and RDAP service are both operational for lookup queries.
