Key legal question
Whether the words 'PNEUS ONLINE' in POH's combined mark were distinctive and could block Delticom's domain names
Extracted holding
The verbal element was descriptive and belonged to the public domain; POH could not rely on the combined mark to prohibit use of those words as such.
Extracted reasoning
'PNEUS' and 'ONLINE' immediately describe online tire sales; the combination does not create a sufficiently distinctive fantasy sign.
