WG Members: I’d like to remind everyone is that our current task is reviewing, rationalizing, and consolidating community-submitted questions so that we can move forward. This thread seems to have gotten away from formulating the questions in final form and is instead debating potential answers. That comes later. Best, Philip Philip S.

On the other hand, the right to hold a domain name is similar to have a license, the same right that has a licensee on his license rights.

It is no more than a license granted by the United States (or other) government. The trademark crowd has long attempted to include trademarks in the holy confines of IP. Traditionally Intellectual Property was reserved for patents and copyrights – things that required the term. To an extent they have succeeded and there are more than a few courts that have confused things and used the term “property” when discussing trademark rights. The same expansive thinking has been bantered about by the copyright industry in speaking of copyrights as a constitutionally guaranteed right. The Constitution grants no such thing. It merely empowers Congress to make laws about….. This is an error and I would love the day that we return to the correct reference points.

That is rather the point.

Second, Marie, a trademark is NOT a property right. It is a right of exclusive use granted by governmental authority over the use of a term, word, or other element in association with a specific product or service.

We all know that ICANN isn’t a legislative body, and we all know that it can’t (and I very much doubt it would want to!) make law. Various laws in the various jurisdictions around the world include various TM laws, which in turn include rules and practises for how and why TMs are granted. That’s what the TMCH is - a repository of TMs that have been legally granted. No? And unless and until a TM lapses, or is cancelled, it’s as much a legal property right as any other. It can’t be OK for an independent administrative repository of TMs to decide to ignore some legal property rights, surely? If the TMCH were just a private list with no function then we’d be on different ground, but given that it’s the gatekeeper for accessing certain RPMs I can’t see under what basis this administrative repository could be allowed to choose which property rights are allowed through the gate and which aren’t. I’m sorry if this is naïve, but I honestly don’t understand how the TMCH can be the court of appeal for the legality of TM rights. Isn’t that why we have actual courts? And holding it out to be some form of appeal body is surely only going to confuse non-TM people, like most registrants, as to its “powers”. Following that, and John’s questions, what are we trying to do? Limit any DN containing a TM to uses that the TM has in the offline world? But not limiting any other word to uses it may have offline? So isn’t that actually discriminating against words that are in TMs against words that aren’t - dictionary, arbitrary, proper or just plain made up? What are we actually trying to do? I’m sorry for the TLDR post and sorry also for my confusion. I plead fuzziness of brain brought on by sociable Belgian cold viruses.

Again, and at the risk of repeating myself. And, as Brian Beckham pointed out this morning, there are quite a few of us in the ICANN community and on the list that understand the nuances of generic, descriptive, arbitrary and fanciful marks as land out in Abercrombie by Learned Hand oh so long ago. However, in the bigger picture policy debate most stakeholders do not understand. They believe that a term is "generic" if it is a WORD with a meaning and are quite frustrated when they find that they cannot own ACETOOLS.COM<http://ACETOOLS.COM> for their site that is for really cool tools. This misunderstanding is then conflated in the policy debate and causes all kinds of confusion and misunderstanding. Hence, I believe the better term is "dictionary term" which under the Abercrombie factors can be either generic, descriptive or arbitrary depending on the circumstances.

Jonathan,
Not to be nit-picky but your definition is incorrect.
Generic: Relating to or characteristic of a whole group or class; general, as opposed to specific or special. (Black's Law Dictionary)
A 'generic term" is one which is commonly used as the name or description of a kind of goods and it is generally accepted that a generic term is incapable of achieving trade name protection. For example, any single seller can not have trademark rights in "television" or "oven." When a seller is given exclusive rights to call something by its recognized name, it would amount to a practical monopoly on selling that type of product. Even established trademarks can lose their protection if they are used generically. For example (in U.S.), thermos and aspirin.
A descriptive term (which many people refer to as a "dictionary term") is merely that - a term used in its descriptive sense (e.g. "Redbarn" is descriptive for selling red barns but not for hotels).
Treatment in differing jurisdictions complicates matters. For example, the term "donut" is a trademark in Spain for donuts. It was obtained way back when when the registrant saw donuts during a visit to the US, returned to Spain and began producing them and registered the trademark.
Thus, the term has nothing to do with consumer perception of source.
Moreover, most generic terms are by definition "in the dictionary".
The problem I encounter most with generic/descriptive terms are in the context of figurative marks. Although the USPTO is getting better at requiring disclaimers, they were not so diligent in the future. In my experience, most other jurisdictions do not rigorously impose disclaimer obligations.
Another source of constant frustration is with Section 2(f). Again, while the USPTO appears to becoming more diligent they were simply horrible in the past. Other jurisdictions do not have a similar provision and, for example, France, has a terrible reputation for registering even the most descriptive (and even generic) terms.
I think the question regarding generic marks in the TMCH has merit and should be discussed and this thread is but one example of why. Again, whether we reach conclusions as to the question is a different issue for a different day.

All,
Just to contribute another angle and perhaps a helpful example.
I think that dictionary words and generic terms are two different species. A dictionary word is a word that is defined in the dictionary. For example the word "apple" is defined as "a fruit (as a star apple) or other vegetative growth". A generic term is a legal standard in trademark law denoting a mark whose source cannot be identified by consumers. And if consumers think that a single source exists for that term then by law the term is not generic. Therefore, in this example, APPLE, a dictionary word by all accounts, may be a dictionary word for fruit, is not a generic term and will in all likelihood be considered a strong trademark for computers.
This is just one example and you should consider that the term "generic" as a term of art in trademark law. It has nothing to do with dictionary words. Moreover, some dictionary words can be weak trademarks at one time and strong trademarks at another time.
You can consider for example the marks NYLON or XEROX. You can find both of them in the dictionary. The term NYLON was an invented mark, invented in 1935 by DuPont. It arguably became generic (from a trademark perspective) when consumers all started referring to synthetic polymers from every manufacture (not just DuPont) as Nylon. XEROX invented a photocopying machine. The term came close to turning generic when in the eighties consumers used the verb "Xeroxing" instead of "photocopying". Xeorx, the company changed that and today by all accounts the mark XEROX is not generic but rather a trademark for photocopying machines.
Taking the above into account ,the policies below state "generic or descriptive" not generic or dictionary words. The term descriptive is another term of art in trademark law, which refers to a trademark that describes the goods it is applied to. The examples of "toy, shop, cleaner, lawyer..." are only descriptive for the relevant goods or services they are attached to. Non-lawyers would immediately associate these terms with their respective meaning. But, these terms can serve as trademarks too. It all depends on the circumstances and consumer perception. One last example would be the use of TOY on a yogurt product. Check out the attachment - the term JOY is applied to a yogurt product. While the term JOY can be descriptive of a feeling, it is not descriptive for yogurt products. So long as consumers don't call any yogurt product JOY, then it is also not generic.
I hope this helps.

Paul, all,
A timely post on CircleID speaks to (intentional) confusion on the "generic"/dictionary dichotomy: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20161212_appearing_respondents_calle d_o u t _ a s _cybersquatters/
In that post, Mr. Levine notes:
"There's continuing confusion among domain buyers (not likely to be professional investors) that dictionary words are 'generic' therefore available to the first to register them. That's not the case at all. There are numerous trademarks composed of common words; weak perhaps, and vulnerable when combined with other common words but nevertheless protectable with sufficient proof of bad faith."
