The heavy machinery company Catepillar has a TM on the
word Cat(since 1954).....They reg'd Cat.info in the
Sunrise.
Should make for an exciting website when those
cat lovers
decide to do a blind type in at Cat.info only to
get info
about heavy machinery. However in defense,
if generics were
doled out to the general population in a
REAL first
come, first serve situation they could do with
the domain as
they please.
The difference is the general population DIDN't have a "first
come first serve chance" at some of the best info generics.
Keep in mind the true test of a generic domain is if you are
able to legally hold it WITHOUT a TM. Let's try it! If
I were
to have gotten Cat.info would Catepillar be able to
successfully take it from me in a court of law?? I
will allow
you to decide.
