For over 5,000 names on the list, the grabs were fairly low and I was underwhelmed by the quality of most names. A few good ones but you notice the general quality going down all the time.

I snagged assaultlawyer, vancouverlaser and peta.

Surprising that jacuzzi was the first one to get picked, given the low likelihood for its owner to have a case against the trademark holder.

But peta and jerseyshore are ok?
Probably not peta, but if somebody wants to offer Jersey Shore vacations to Canadians, that should be a legitimate use of that one. (The term "Jersey Shore" was in wide use many years before the TV show, and it's a popular vacation destination for visitors from many places.)

"Jersey Shore" is a generic term used to refer to the shore region of New Jersey. Many businesses with the name "Jersey Shore" in them reinforce this fact, and as Randomo stated below, it is a term well-established for years.

"Peta" refers to a "quadrillion" (i.e. Petabyte), the same way that "giga" would apply to "billion" (i.e. Gigabyte), and "kilo" would apply to "thousand" (i.e. Kilobyte). It can also abbreviate virtually anything else, being a very versatile set of letters.

I'd be very interested in knowing where it is that there is infringement on either of these two names.

Jacuzzi, on the other hand, is not a generic term, and not a dictionary word. This is why I would doubt that whoever got their hands on it would have an easy time keeping it.
