That name domain was finally denied.<\/p>\n<p>The decision came after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in the USPTO (United States Patent &amp; Trademark Office) against Booking.com.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the TTAB, ensures that the term in question, did not fulfill the requirements for trademark registration despite the addition of the &#8220;.com&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Since Sausser Summers&#8217; brand, &#8220;onlinetrademarkattorneys.com&#8221;, does not have the secondary meaning necessary to overcome what he considered the inherently generic nature of the term.<\/p>\n<p>This set of TTAB decisions is that simply adding \u201c.com\u201d to a generic term does not exempt it from its generic nature and therefore qualifies it for trademark protection. The Court&#8217;s ruling, the TTAB explained, was not so broad as to suggest this as a way around the generic barrier to registration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court approved trademark protection [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-noticias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1627"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1628,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1627\/revisions\/1628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bgal.com.mx\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
