Supreme Court: Booking.com can trademark its name The Supreme Court says travel website BookingWASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court says travel website Booking.com can trademark its name, a ruling that also impacts other companies whose name is a generic word followed by “.com.”The high court issued its 8-1 ruling Tuesday. Lower courts had sided with Booking.com, but the Trump administration had appealed to the Supreme Court. “We have no cause to deny Booking.com the same benefits Congress accorded other marks qualifying as nongeneric,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority of the court. The case is United States Patent and Trademark Office v. Booking.com B.V., 19-46. ———Follow AP’s Supreme Court feed at https://twitter.com/AP—Courtside.
