Recently，Coinbase sues a German man, accusing him of maliciously registering the domain name coinbase.de and threatening extortion.

TechFlow News, July 28, Cointelegraph reported that cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has sued German man Tobias Honscha in a California federal court, accusing him of maliciously registering the domain name coinbase.de and attempting to extort the company.
Coinbase claims that Honscha used the domain to redirect users to a physical coin exchange app and profit from the Coinbase affiliate program, violating the affiliate agreement's prohibition on using the word "Coinbase" in domain names.More seriously, Coinbase accuses Honscha of threatening to use the domain name in phishing attacks, including the unauthorized submission of IDs, passwords, and one-time two-factor authentication codes, if the company does not purchase the domain at a high price. Coinbase considers this to be "clear extortion."In addition, the domain name is also used to operate an email service, which may mislead users into thinking they are communicating with Coinbase officials. Coinbase asked the court to order the cessation of use of the domain name, transfer of domain name ownership, and compensation for losses.

Howere， the coinbase.de is still in use now.

I don't think Coinbase will win the coinbase.de because they even can't win coinbase.info even 6 years late than coinbase.com as it is registered even though .info are taken over by Americans or American company，hehe

Coinbase is a generic term in the field in which Coinbase(.com) operates.

However I can see how they could win some of these cases, as even wikipedia and google don't "understand" it as a generic term, I had to look really hard for the definition to link to, because everything everywhere was referring primarily to the company (who actually chose this name precisely because of its generic meaning; they didn't register the domain, either - they bought it off the market).
