US Supreme Court and Bookings.com Domain Name Case
NPOC Colleagues: The US Supreme Court made history today by going live online, with some judges on remote call in. Its first case (which the NYTimes called “largely forgettable”) was U.S. Patent and Trademark Office v. Booking.com <https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/united-states-patent-and-tradema...>, involved the question of whether a business could trademark a generic name by adding “.com” to the end of it.

Interesting outcome and arguments it was. Just left a call Kathy was holding with other IP experts. Regards Caleb Ogundele ________________ Sent with thumbs from a small screen mobile device. Pelase exsuce typos adn errosr. On Mon, May 4, 2020, 11:49 PM Sam Lanfranco <sam@lanfranco.net> wrote:
