Thread: Surrender of GoogBlog.com to Google

I was in a bad faith that i can legally keep the domain googblog.com but when i kept myself in the place of google i understood i really did very unfair to google. since two weeks i have been trying to delete the domain googblog.com, but i am unable to because godaddy has put my domain on hold, on your consent godaddy may delete the domain or unhold it. I sincerely apologise to Google for infringement, misuse of their intellectual property (GOOGBLOG.COM).

WIPO Case - GoogBlog.com

Phew... stay away from anything that has a G in it, just because NASDAQ symbol is GOOG, next it would be infringement if I use a capital G in my First name, since that is the favicon used by the mighty....

Thanks Ceres for brinqinq this to our notice (notice no g / only Q .. how bout QOOQBLOQ.com arrrrrrrrrr nasty one...

Cheers

pubdomains.in, I don't think it will ever get that bad...or at least I hope not!

I don't think it was unreasonable for Google to go about this domain name. As soon as I saw GoogBlog.com I thought of Google. Hey, do you really think the respondent wasn't thinking of Google when he registered GoogBlog.com?

seems they are breaking the rule "dont be evil"

I agree - Goog would remind you of Google and the respondent must have had the motive to encash the similarity. Very tempted to register Goggle / Goggles + blog though...

Thx

Just reminds me to the famous saying about IRS:
