DotSucks Takes The Prophylactic Metaphor Further Than INTA Member Might Like

May 4, 2015 by Michele Neylon

This week INTA, the International Trademark Association, is meeting in San Diego. As can be expected with any trademark show a lot of domain industry companies are in attendance.

What, however, seems to be catching more attention than many others is the presence of the .sucks registry.

As others have mentioned, Vox Populi have a big billboard on the side of a truck near the conference venue:

But that’s not all that the .sucks team are doing – they’re also giving away .sucks branded condoms!

Whether that’s a “play” on the their pricing model for trademark holders or not is unclear ..
