Domains at CVS Pharmacy? — Park Your

Domains at CVS Pharmacy? — Park Your

Pharmacy uses variant of famous DomainSponsor slogan.

I came across a funny tweet this morning by @superberg: “Oh no! Domain squatters have taken over CVS!” with a link to this picture:

cvs-food-domain-sponsor

Apparently @superberg snapped this photo at a CVS pharmacy, and it reminded him of the slogan domain parking firm DomainSponsor made famous. DomainSponsor’s slogan is actually a bit different, substituting “need” instead of “want”:

domain-sponsor-slogan

But it’s good for a laugh, anyway.

Oversee.net, parent firm of DomainSponsor, has filed a trademark for its “What you need, when you need it” slogan. The trademark examiner seems to be giving the firm a hard time over proving the slogan has been used in commerce and its description of classes of service. But even if it had an identical trademark to the term at CVS, the pharmacy chain has nothing to worry regarding…I doubt DomainSponsor will add the trademark class for ‘food’.
