On Tuesday June 30, 2020, the Supreme Court approved the trademark registration of “Booking.com” (Opinion of the Court), a generic term which was ineligible for trademark protection in the past. Booking.com had filed to register its domain name at the US Patent and Trademark Office. The office initially denied the registration, arguing that generic names are not eligible for trademark protection. Booking.com’s victory on Tuesday means the trademarks containing generic words can be registered in the future.
