A coined term is one thing, like if you had Pepsi Whores.

So, if you had a string of common words that are nouns, verbs, adj, etc, legally, the other company has no right to claim trademark to it.

Like; freepornvideos.com cant do jack shit if someone uses freepornmovies.com, etc


So how exactly did Paris Hilton trademark "That's Hot" and Donald Trump "You're Fired"???
