Paragraph 1:- ‘In this case, the Domain Name comprises the combination of a
geographical location….which is generic.’

Next paragraph 2:- ‘In the present case, it is the view of the Expert that the
Domain Name is distinctive and that it is not wholly descriptive or generic. ‘

errr...generic???

Paragraph 1:- ‘In this case, the Domain Name comprises the combination of a
geographical location….which is generic.’

assuming nominets site search is right, you are talking about the sussexskips.co.uk decision and have creatively chopped a vital part of the sentance and punctuation off!

In this case, the Domain Name comprises the combination of a
geographical location, “Sussex” and “skips”, which is generic.


That to me is saying Sussex is a geographical location - period - and that the word skips is generic.

Which is true.

The expert has found that putting a geograpical location and a generic word together is not wholly generic or descriptive - he has not said it is a generic term and then changed his mind further down.

I disagree with the expert as UKJobs or ManchesterFood would not be generic/descriptive... however to be fair to him what you claim he said he didnt really say :)

rob you said 'what you claim he said he didnt really say'

PS: I am glad rob you have made good use of Jay's revised search facility why don't you use it to sort out my other post

Again, if this is the sussexskips one :

You said: ‘In this case, the Domain Name comprises the combination of a
geographical location….which is generic.’


He said:

geographical location, “Sussex” and “skips”, which is generic.


I have bolded the bit that went awol somewhere in your clipboard - a vital part of the sentance as it changes the entire meaning!

Your sentance says geographic locations are generic, and the expert says the word 'skip' is generic.

I might later... currently HIGNFY is on and there is a nice auzzy wine chilling... :)
 
skips and sussex

Actually the expert was saying the phrase was generic i.e. suzzex skips BUT in his opinion it became ungeneric because of the complainants good will in the name sussex skips

All I was saying was why say it was generic when it wasnt i.e it confuses the mind
