[[Google]] filed a separate [[String Confusion Objection]] against all three applicants of .cars, stating that the string was confusingly similar to [[Google]]'s application for [[.car]]. On 7 August 2013 the [[ICDR]] decided one of three objections submitted against .cars, ruling in favor of the applicant, [[Donuts]]. The [[ICANN]] community initially saw this ruling as setting a precedent that plural-word strings are not confusingly similar to their singular forms.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20130814_panels_rule_no_confusion_between_singular_and_plural_tlds/ Panels Rule No Confusion between singular and plural TLDs, Circle ID] Retrieved 25 Sept 2013</ref> However, later rulings, such as [[Donuts]]' application for [[.pets]], showed that no such precedent had been set. This created some controversy within the community.
