: No. Slogans can be registered but they cannot take language out of the public domain. The trademark also only applies to a specific good or service.
: The phrase you have suggested is on the edge it might be registerable. A competitor adding a word to a trademark is not going to get away free, ash you have shown it.
: The law can be quirky but it is not crazy.

Just to clarify what you said, and make sure I understand you correctly: A co. that did register the slogan, "Never clean your gutters again"
CAN NOT sue an competitor for using "similar" wording in an advertisement?
