The Complainant Librairie des Artistes in Paris, France, just lost its bid to gain control over two adult domain names, sexodrome-europe.com and sexodrome.xxx.
Disputed domain names were registered on September 24, 2014.
The Respondent is using the domain name to run a sex shop online.
Here is the decision that was given:
The Commission also notes that the suffix ‘Drome’ in English or French – or “Drom ‘in German – is generic because of its use to refer to a movement or a race in words like velodrome, racecourse, aerodrome, motordrome. The Commission considers that the Applicant can not object to the international use of the term “Sexodrome” in a domain name.
Therefore, the Commission considers it likely that the Respondent has a legitimate interest in the disputed domain names.

A few day back, the domain name TrumpCard.com was ruled in favor of Donald Trump, even though "Trump Card" is a generic term widely used in some of the card games. I think that one was more obvious when it comes to generic. The UDRP for that case may be found here
What do you have to say about these two decisions?
