Hi!
Domain/trademark experts I would love to hear your opinion.
I have noticed a trends that many generic term domains, such as
automechanic.ca, dentist.ca, tattoo.ca, mortgage.ca, golf.ca, and loans.ca, to name a few, are TAKEN but are not active on any websites for decades.
From what I understood, Generic Term domains CANNOT be trademarked, companies buy them at most they either Park them or forward them to original Branded websites. For example, I know that Shoes.com is Owned by DSW Group shoe company.
Are there any other reasons why short but Generic term domains are so highly sought after but are NOT actually used in business at all?
