These trademarks protecting the Bluejeans Place name, the term blujns, the nickname Bluejeans and The Blues History Documentary Project name meet the US Patent and Trademark Office’s definition of a trademark:

What is a trademark?
A trademark includes any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce to identify and distinguish the goods of one manufacturer or seller from goods manufactured or sold by others, and to indicate the source of the goods. In short, a trademark is a brand name.   (For details or this definition, see the US PTO Web Site at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm#DefineTrademark.

Under IANA and ICAN domain registration rules, the above trademarks preclude the Internet domain registration of the Bluejeans Place name by anyone other than the trademark holder.  Additionally, the same domain registration rules preclude the Internet domain registration of the term blujns and the term The Blues History Documentary Project.

Please note:  The trademark and copyright holder placed permanent renewal payment processes in place with the domain registrar managing the www.bluejeansplace.com domain to ensure the domain name is automatically renewed upon its expiration date, thereby precluding domain hijacking and cyber-squatting actions.
