Don't miss smiley ;-)Sorry Bryan - there seem to be trademarks for absolutely
any word - anything - descriptions - colours - anything (see subject line).
Exception
- below is cut from my prior post:
http://forum.icann.org/cgi-bin/rpgmessage.cgi?newtldagmts;3B8109FB000004EC
In
trademarks, a generic word of same type as the class (product type) is not allowed.
IT
IS AN ABUSE OF TRADEMARK LAWS - ask any TM attorney.
e.g. Apple Computers could
not apply for the trademark 'COMPUTER'
But a different class (product type) could:
e.g.
UK trademark 1134604 - 'COMPUTER'
Proprietor: Dunlop Australia Limited
Class
25: Stockings, panti-hose; socks and tights, all for wear.
You go to computer.info
and you could be seeing a screen with pair of tights on it.
So - EVERY generic
word bought in the sunrise period will lead you to a different class.
e.g. HOLIDAY.info
will not go to holiday site.
Going to a different subject (class) will cause 'consumer
confussion' - something trademarks are SUPPOSED to legally avoid.
***If it does
not go to different subject - then the domain name was taken fraudulantly in the
Sunrise Period***
