how can some promoting escorts make Eros a trademark? when eros is a greek god?
i can agree with your example hqstarbuckscoffee tho.

They file for a trademark, go through the waiting process and then are granted one.
Eros is not the first nor last normal word or phrase used.
Now they can not prohibit someone from using the word Eros when it does not infringe on their business. There is a EROS data center used by the US government that would not infringe on their trademark. There was also a movie by the same name that had some erotica (close but did not infringe).
If someone wanted to get a domain like for example sinsoferos and dedicated it to the Greek god or even a beverage that boosts your sexual abilities would not be infringing on the named trademark.
Hell ask a trademark lawyer they will explain it to your and your frustration.
