It's possible, but MarkMonitor is Zoom's registrar, so there are plenty of other ways for a miscommunication between MarkMonitor and GoDaddy to cause this. Copyright complaints would be a more reasonable theory if MarkMonitor were mentioned and didn't have any other involvement.

I guess but if MarkMonitor accidently suspended it, it would be ClientHold but it was widely reported it was showing as ServerHold.

ServerHold is used with Registry (GoDaddy in this case) is disabling vs ClientHold is when registrar is pulling the plug (MarkMonitor)

So what would have MarkMonitor said to GoDaddy to cause them to ServerHold a domain?

At one point on a trip to Hawaii I was detained in my room by hotel security for fifteen minutes after requesting a room key to replace the one I lost.

It turns out that they had typo’d 12 into the request type field instead of 1, and type 12 was “Covid lockdown protocol with security enforcement” leftover from 2020 and latent in their systems.

Depending on MarkMonitor have chosen to integrate with each other to handle the sort of trademark management that is MarkMonitor’s premium offering, either or both parties could have simply been off-by-one or typo’d in a transaction to cause this. It’s absolutely plausible to create a confusing nightmare outcome with a one-byte error. (And we’re having quite incredible cosmic rays today, so I hope they’re using ECC RAM!)

Possibly MarkMoniter failed to renew the domain on time? Or there was a miscommunication around payment that led to the domain expiring?

		There are status codes around that which would contain the word renew. serverHold is generally only set by registry when they have some pending action which almost always legal related. You can see a list of Status Codes here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/epp-status-codes-2014-...

		Renewal date is April 24, so unlikely. Even if it expired this year they would still have a week to renew.
