Nope, trademarks are creative works, pure and simple.

The correct wording probably still is "may be able to obtain"

So, if your trade mark was stylised lettering from the alphabet, then
you might be able to register that domain as you could clearly
demonstrate a connection to your business.

Examples are BHP/Blue Steel registering "Colorbond" (?),
Arnotts biscuts for Sao (?)
CC Amatil registering "CocaCola",
