Mystery company files trademarks for .wedding, .club, and .discount.
California’s What Box? Holdings, LLC has applied for three more top level domain name trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The three applications are:
.Wedding – filed September 27
.Club – filed October 3
.Discount – filed October 3
Little is know about the company other than its lawyer being Thomas A. Brackey, II. The company was formed September 1.
My guess is this is not an actual applicant for new top level domains, so don’t read too much into the applications. Given that this entity has already filed a trademark application for .hawaii — a top level domain that would require the blessing of Hawaii’s government — I don’t think there’s a rhyme or reason to the filings.

Do you think it may be a new version of a Patent Troll?
David J Castello says
Doesn’t make sense. DotHawaii haa potential. These other three are dead at the starting gate.
Louise says
Thanx for the heads-up! Thomas A. Brackey, II, also filed for:
.fish
.charter
.foundation
.kids
.construction
.law
as you probably reported earlier.

more digging reveals strong correlation with potential TLD applications. definitely put these on the watch list.
