"Hoverboard" trademarkable? Is it like "Rollerblade?"

[cmdomains]

Hmm I seem to really like learning about TM things and today I came across Rollerblade Inc WIPO dealings with owners of Rollerblading / com and Rollerblade / net - both turned out to be different results :

http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2000/d2000-0427.html

I actually did not know Rollerblade is trademarked, quite surprised there. Now, I do hold a hoverboard name and was thinking responding to a domain request here with the same keyword but there were some views, no replies, wonder if it's to do with TM issue?

However, Hoverboard doesn't seem like it's registrable being that it's used now like another animal as a skateboard. It's even used as another term for a Flyboard (which is quite odd considering it's not exactly a board).

Would still like to hear some thoughts about this though.

It looks like Hoverboard is registered as a TM, from a quick search.

The one you found is it US?

Opss never mind, it's uspto lol

So there's currently Eu and US holding TM with classification 12. How does this work out? So they both can't compete with each other on respective countries.

Wonder what about hoverboard+keyword (or vice versa) operating on these countries?

If the name is confusingly similar and in the same classes, etc. it could be refused a TM.

This video is what I missed. So this is the flyboard hoverboard:

Not this one which I initially thought of :

Then of course the self-balance wheeled hoverboards .

So below happened. Maybe someone has access to details ?
From a quick search, Hoverboard Technologies Corp. is the owner of domain hoverboard / com but Patmont Motor Werks has the active TM for it.
Could the former be seeking to relieve the word from being trademarked ?
