They are either concerned about Pandora Music sitting on the .com or Pandora jewelry sitting on a .net with both having trademarks of use in their fields.

Of course the generic term pandora cannot be used as a book store or a clothing shop with secret bargains called Pandora's Clothing or Pandora's Closet.

Yup according to GoDaddy the one word .ca is not listable even though I had it listed before..... hmm

Given that logic the word Apple is not listable in any extension regardless of how one uses it.

Apple.horse for Apple Horse Stables is just too risky.
 
This is happening all the time right now and GD just refused me for a pair of very generic 1-words this weekend. If this gets any worse then it's really going to curtail our marketplace options and we may all have to dump GD and use generic landers.

GoDaddy is "taking requests" from TM holders on which words, etc. to disallow listing on their marketplace, and it's getting a lot out hand. I can just imagine some corporation putting in requests to limit "and", "the" and "a' as part of their TM library.

The funny thing is that there's already a half-page of my "word + alt TLD" domains listed at GD with no problems, so it's definitely accelerating. :unsure:
 
If I search for "pandora" at GoDaddy, pandora.info is marked as a "PREMIUM" domain, for sale for USD $395.

Oddly, if I filter for domains of 7-characters or less, nothing shows up (including Pandora.info, which is exactly 7 characters, which is visible when there are no filters!). 🤪
 
I submitted about 500 domains to godaddy auction, all of them are in Pending status with them asking me to make a txt file on each domain to verify. Well thats not going to happen, I can't make that change in bulk and I'm sure not doing it by hand.

Pending status has been a few days so I will see what happens, so far the only notification has been the rejection pandora.ca
