Trademark -- New exam guide on generic.com terms

The USPTO issued a new examination guide titled "Generic.com Terms after USPTO v. Booking.com." The guide sets out procedures for examining applications for generic.com terms, which are any combination of a generic term and generic top-level domain designating an entity or information, such as “.com” or “.biz.”
You can find the exam guide on the Trademark examination guides page of the USPTO website. For questions about the guide, email TMPolicy@uspto.gov.
