Some company applied for 20 or so trademarks of .XXX domains. DATE.XXX, ADULT.XXX, and more. How do you get "use in commerce" when the domains can't even be registered yet?

Oh boy. The shit is going to hit the fan.

"commerse" is a wider scope in business which is not limited by the Internet.
in other words, trademark does not equal a domain name.

yep the fun is starting I bet that must make lens happy him being all for it lol

Don't worry guys the trademark thing won't work - e.g. match.com, match.net, match.tv - if any domain extension was registered prior to the trademark the domain cannot be included in the trademark. E.g. date.net, date.dk already exist. And specially generic words like sex,pussy,date,adult can't be put under trademark protection.

Now - there could be a case where someone already has a .xxx domain, one with the plugins... and has invested time/money to build traffic for the domain... that's something a lot more worrying. other than that it should be a race.

Greed makes America go 'round.

Good luck to this chap. Hopefully his efforts are not going up against some serious playas, or he will be losing those greedy dineros.

azguy · 07-11-2005, 07:28 PM

You do what sex.com did and post the names on the website for months

SeniorX · 07-11-2005, 07:56 PM

now Gary, what if I register trademarks for www.sex.xxx and www.pussy.xxx

I'll just sue anyone that gets a .xxx domain using a trademark, so the domain will be locked until it's in court and i'll be the first to know when it gets unlocked after we win and will register it... BEWARE! ;)
