Supreme Court rules generic website names can be trademarked
[ad_1] The USPTO, among others, suggested that allowing Booking.com to claim the trademark would harm other travel companies with the word “booking” in their domain names.

Advertisers are running from Facebook. What’s next?
[ad_1] At this point, the question isn’t how big the advertising boycott will get, but what will it actually accomplish. So far, it’s not exactly clear.

Facebook primarily removed 220 accounts, 106 groups, […]
Uber is reportedly trying to buy Postmates
[ad_1] It’s no secret as to why Uber might want to buy Postmates. This would expand its food deliveries and help offset tanking demand for its core ridesharing business.
