<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoPlainText">To be clear: the decisions reached in car/cars and hotel/hotels are actually more in keeping with present interpretation of trademark law than they are dissimilar since plurals of generic words are not &quot;confusingly similar&quot; to other
 generic words under traditional trademark analysis. We should avoid applying terminology from trademark law out of context, in what are contests between strings that are not themselves trademarks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In these &quot;generic word&quot; disputes, the objecting parties have tended to make arguments based on trademark confusing similarity analysis. In that analysis, though, the trademark has already been determined to be distinctive. So those circumstances
 involve comparing something to something else which has established distinctiveness. The point is to avoid erosion of what are already distinctive marks. That reasoning just does not apply to generic terms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This has been true for years under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy. No confusing similarity was found between “Tire Discounter” and “Tire Discounters” despite the difference of only a single letter in Tire Discounters, Inc. v.
<a href="http://TireDiscounter.com">TireDiscounter.com</a>, NAF Claim Number: <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">FA0604000679485 (“[b]ecause the mark is merely descriptive, small differences matter”).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Nor was confusing similarity found between the “The Suit Warehouse” mark and a “SuitWarehouse” domain name because the presence of descriptively common words necessarily restricts the “confusingly similar” analysis very closely to exact
 identity. The Men's Wearhouse Inc. v. Brian Wick d/b/a <a href="http://Defaultdata.com">
Defaultdata.com</a>, NAF Claim Number: FA0208000117861.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The results have been no different under the Lanham Act. In a similarity analysis between “ENTREPRENEUR” and “ENTREPRENEUR PR” in two internet domain names, the 9th Circuit declined to find confusing similarity, noting, “[i]n the Internet
 context, consumers are aware that domain names for different Web sites are quite often similar, because of the need for language economy, and that very small differences matter.” Entrepreneur Media, Inc. v. Smith, 279 F. 3d 1135, 1147 (9th Cir., 2002).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Additionally, the notion that terms lacking distinctiveness are not subject to &quot;confusing similarity&quot; analysis is also true outside of the US, as the High Court of Australia opined in Hornsby Building Information Centre Pty Ltd v. Sydney
 Building Information Centre Ltd, [1978] HCA 11:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">“There is a price to be paid for the advantages flowing from the possession of an eloquently descriptive trade name. Because it is descriptive it is equally applicable to any business of a like kind, it’s very descriptiveness ensures
 that it is not distinctive of any particular business.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Of course if you are dealing with established distinctive marks then, yes, &quot;Verizons&quot; will be confusingly similar to &quot;Verizon&quot;. But the scope of &quot;confusing similarity&quot; has always been delimited by the distinctiveness of the mark under
 analysis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">That a panel, applying ordinary principles of application of the trademark term &quot;confusingly similar&quot; would decline to find such similarity between two generic words is neither surprising nor unusual. If this was an unexpected result,
 then one might just as well ask how <a href="http://lawyer.com">lawyer.com</a> and
<a href="http://lawyers.com">lawyers.com</a> manage to exist under different ownership (along with
<a href="http://cars.com/car.com">cars.com/car.com</a>, <a href="http://house.com/houses.com">
house.com/houses.com</a> <a href="http://dog.com/dogs.com">dog.com/dogs.com</a>, and many other generic words).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Furthermore, and perhaps even more importantly, under the ICANN rules we are not merely looking at &quot;confusing similarity&quot; but rather, a higher standard of &quot;impermissible&quot; confusing similarity. Comparing these string objections to outcomes
 in trademark cases is the proverbial mixing of apples and oranges because the generic strings involved are not, as a threshold matter, even trademarks. The lack of distinctiveness in generic words drives the result that they are not entitled to the broad swath
 of protection afforded that which would be impermissibly confusing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ICANN has done much to protect trademark interests and we can all argue as to whether they have done enough or not.&nbsp; Here, however, we are not even talking about trademarks; we are dealing with two generic terms.&nbsp; The panels did not lose
 sight of that and I wonder why we sit here bashing them for applying the Policy we all approved and the law over which we’ve little control.<o:p></o:p></p>
