Subject:	USPTO Will Probably Deny "Generic" Trademarks
Message:
I tried to trademark customlighting.com, and received rejection.  "Too generic" was the reason.  I'm protected by "first use", but that's about it. I doubt whether auto.web, drive.web, etc., are markable, based on my experience.  Maybe in Malaysia, or Botswana, but not in the US.  They are too generic.
