Hello Domainers,
What do you Think about this Logic of mine?
When all English dictionary word/s were used as trademark, then someday there will be no more English words left in this world that can be used by human beings to communicate. And this can be the end of Domain Industry.
The idea left in my mind, when someone said that my two dictionary words domain name, say it: VirtualXXXX has been used by huge company as a trademark.
I answer that by send him/her message as follow:
1. The words "Virtual" and "XXXX" are pure dictionary word in English. They are not derived from other word / words. Combination of the 2 words to be "VirtualXXXX", has connection in meaning. We can search in google, that many huge till small company used the 2 words in announcing or advertising their services.
So, as far as I know about the rules of trademark using pure dictionary word in English, that everyone and every company in this world can register them as a trademark too. It means, noone can claim that he/she own the words. Because English Language is the Language of the World that belong to all people in this small world. I can not imagine, if every pure dictionary word in English is claimed as belonging to someone or company by claiming the Trademark; Then someday there will be no more English words left in this world that can be used by human beings to communicate.
2. IMO, ENGLISH LANGUAGE is like a SUN. It belongs to all people in this civilized World.
This language illuminates the world with its admiration. I used to read an article, that Spanish Woman claimed to own the sun. She backed her claim legally with the document issued by a notary public. Based on the legal, She wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the sun shine. (see: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...owns-sun--plans-start-charging-ALL-users.html).
Really sure, of course, I and you and all people, and even God, will never agree and acknowledge the claim.
