Googles.com sues Google.com

[~0]

Now the tables are turning, after Google sued others for infringing on it's Domain name ( eg.Froogle and Gmail)

Now Googles is suing Google - because they owned their domain about one year before Google.

IT seems to be a pretty dismissable argument based on a hot air baloon promoting another "democratic societies" run for someone else's pocket, and has been going on for 3 or 4 months now. Didn't see any real new notable news there! Unless of course, "search relevancy" was really skewed a couple weeks ago!---in the last alg change....

If the reverse had happened - would not Google claim infrigement?

Google do not have "google" registered as a trademark in the UK. A New Application has been made on the 12.03.1999 but until it is passed meens nothing in law.

Heres the interesting part "Googleys" was registered on the 13.10.1999 by a UK company. This could possibly cause problems for Google if they provide a similer product or service to this company (cant find what thay do). In fact I would say that google is to close to Googleys which would prevent them from trading in the same area (what ever this may be).

With regards to Googles I would say that Google will have no chance in this case. Googles could come down on them very hard indeed should google start trading in the same goods or services.

Looks like Google maybe didnt do all the home work they should have.

Actually, a limited suit. Googles is trying to keep Google out of children's market.
No mouse pads t shirts stuff that children would use.

Washington Post

Could get interesting though. With the IPO coming up this something that Google really doesn't need.
