Google wins googblog.com domain name case against Indian
Internet search giant Google has won a cybersquatting case at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) against an Indian who had tried to block the domain name ‘googblog.com’, media reports said today.
According to the information available with the WIPO, Geneva-based WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has ordered the transfer of domain name to the US-based search giant after Herit Shah of Gujarat offered to surrender the disputed name to Google.
Google had challenged the registering of domain name ‘googblog.com’ by Shah at WIPO stating that it was confusingly similar to its trademark on which the company has rights.
Goog Blog, which has gone offline owing to the legal dispute, was a the web 2.0 portal for all the latest tech news, windows guide, mp3 downloads, funny stuff, greetings, lyrics and everything, according to reports. “Googblog.com is temporarily down due to some legal conflicts. Check back soon for the updates,” says the message in the site.
Google had challenged the registering of domain name ‘googblog.com’ by Shah at WIPO stating that it was confusingly similar to its trademark on which the company has rights, says a PTI report. Cybersquatting is an illegal activity of registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else, according to US federal law.
WIPO is a specialised agency of the United Nations for developing a balanced and accessible international system in the field of intellectual property rights.
The California-headquartered firm has been using the name ‘GOOG’ as a NASDAQ financial stock ticker since 2004. The company has used the trademark GOOGLE since the inception of its business in 1997.
“I was in a bad faith that I can legally keep the domain googblog.com … I really did very unfair to Google. I sincerely apologise to Google for infringement, misuse of their intellectual property (GOOGBLOG.COM),” Shah stated.
The search giant operates a blog service under the brand ‘Blogger’. As per the details available with WIPO, a pre-complaint correspondence between the parties (Google and Shah) failed to resolve the dispute.
