Can I benefit from the priority registration during a sunrise period offered by a new gTLD for a trademark which is not registered within the Clearinghouse?

No, it is not possible to register a domain name matching your trademark during a Sunrise period without the SMD file (Signed Mark Data). This file will be provided to you by the Clearinghouse once your trademark record has been verified.

Can two or more identical trademarks be registered in the Clearinghouse? Who will be able to register the corresponding domain name during a Sunrise period?

Both trademark records, if eligible, will be able to participate in the Clearinghouse. The registry will decide how they want to accept the identical domain name applications (e.g. first come, first serve, auction, other criteria).
