About GoogleNews.es

[qwerty_wq]

I don't know if this can be a TM domain, because I can build a site with news about Google. And if the name "Google" is a problem, there are sites like:

google-watch.org
google-watch-watch.org
google-watch-china.org

I am the administrator of GoogleNews.es (.ES-> Spain and Spanish content) and I don't know about legal issues. I want to sell the domain but I don't know if this can be a problem.

There are lots of .ES domains related to Google, and they haven't say anything.

Thanks.

I've contacted Google PERSONALLY about a domain I used to own with the word "Google" in it - any domain with "Google" in it is a TM Violation.

TmViolation.com for sale, anyone? :D

(Yes, I'm actually selling it :lol

You needed to contact google about this??


This is very obvious...

OK. But, if this is a TM violation, why is google-watch.org on-line? This is a very critic site about Google and they have received lots of comentaries from the search engine.

It's a bit paradoxical, I think.

Thanks for all the replies.

Thats something you'd need to contact google-watch about... Using the excuse "oh their doing it" doesn't work in court.

I requested permission to use the domain, as you legally SHOULD do.

 

[jmweb]

Ahh, good job. I thought you meant something else.

 

[xclusive]

Just ask i'm sure they would let you use it...To many people worry about what to do instead of just simply going to the company

 

[qwerty_wq]

Then can I ask Google for permission to use the domain name?

Thanks!

Go ahead even though they will probably tell you to hand it over to them =\

I want to sell the domain but I don't know if this can be a problem.

Ummmm, so is your question about TM infringement or about it being ok to sell a TM domain?????

Yes, you are infringing, yes your intentions show you to be a squatter. You want to profit off of Googles name., don't look for affirmation here.

oops, double post

I owned GoogleBooksSearch.com and they paid me $6 for it :P

 

[user-7256]

Hm, all they said on my response is I couldn't use the name. So I just dropped it.
