Firm wants to trademark the term “Domain Auction”

Fresh domain listings site wants a trademark on descriptive term.

From the merely descriptive file…

A Florida firm has filed two trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for “Domain Auction” and “Domains Auction”.

The applications, filed by Coracao LLC, claim a first use date of earlier this month.

Coracao’s trademark applications seem to be spurred by its recent launch of a domain name and website sales site at DomainAuction.xyz. The goods and services in the applications list “On-line auction services featuring domain names and web sites”.

If the firm wants a stylized trademark for its totally rad logo, that’s one thing. But the term itself?
