Can someone trademark a generic word and a country name
Like CarsAustralia ?
I have a domain name that is a Singular+country
Now the naming convention is that you name it like keyword+place or Place+keyword(s)
If keyword comes before the place, it sounds a lot better if it is plural.
So let us assume the domain is ApplesAustralia. com and I own AppleAustralia. com
There is a Multi Million dollar company. They raised more than 10 Million in series C a few years back and are still going strong and profitable
I have never had any inbound request, so i think an outbound would make sense.
I am not sure how to go about it?
Fun fact. My domain was originally registered about 3 months before they did. The company was launched 3 years after the first registration, so I hope I am in the clear even if they are trademarked,
But can they trademark a Generic Name.
It is not Like Apple where Apple sells computers.
They are apples and selling apples.
It is not on Justia since it is an Indian Based company
How would you have go about it?
Cold call the CEO?
