Supreme Court Oral Argument in Patent & Trademark Office v. Booking.com
1 hour, 17 minutesDue to the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court for the first time in history heard oral argument via teleconference. The case involved a popular travel reservation company and its fight to trademark its website, booking.com. The online company filed in 2011 and 2012 trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trade Office (USPTO). These applications were denied with the agency citing that "booking.com" is too generic for legal protections. Under the law, only distinguishable terms that can separate itself from other products and services can be trademarked. The company filed suit in federal court and won. In short, the ruling cited that adding the ".com" to the end makes it not generic. The USPTO argued the opposite and filed an appeal to the Supreme Court noting that there have been instances where adding the .com does not work. They said federal courts have rejected trademarks in the past for sites such as hotels.com, mattress.com and lawyers.com.
