Seeing as we are having a gripe session I have applied 3 times for centre.com.au even got a trademark on it. Registered a company with it "centre.com.au P/L." I have been rejected 3 times because its generic. I have heard, don't know if its true or not that generic names will go to the highest bidder, does that mean they will buy my company as well?

We tried to register scooters.com.au and got rejected because "...it refers to a product category we plucked from the sky etc etc" however, I just noticed the domain name dildos.com.au got "though" somehow. You have to wonder.....
