Google Wins Googlemail-Google.com Domain Name in Arbitration

Google won the UDRP case it brought seeking transfer of the domain name Googlemail-Google.com. The company submitted the complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on September 27,2013.

Google owns many trademark registrations for the “Google” mark all over the world. Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,the company managed to demonstrate that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name and that the respondent used the domain name in bad faith .

The arbitrator assigned to the case ruled in favor of Google,indicating that the company has full rights to the disputed domain name .The respondent’s loss was also partly due to the fact that he failed to submit a response in this proceeding ,accepting these way Google’s allegations as fact .
