Hotels.com, L.P. (“the applicant”) applied to register the service mark HOTELS.COM in Class 43, for the services of “providing information for others about temporary lodging; travel agency services, namely, making reservations and bookings for temporary lodging for others by means of telephone and the global computer network.” The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB” or “Board”) refused the registration on the ground that the mark is a generic term for these services. In re Hotels.com, L.P., 87 USPQ2d 1100 (T.T.A.B. Mar. 24, 2008). We affirm the Board’s decision.
