I wonder if that is against Google's TOS. :td:

 

[cherry]

No i dont think

Hi,
i dont think. because what about www.googlecommunity.com they also have the domain as google.

 

[Colleen]

I know someone who had a Froogle domain, Froogle is a Google trademark, and Google demanded the domains be turned over to them or they would take legal action, so it seems they take this kind of thing seriously once they find out.

It would be a shame after all the work put into the site.

hmm

hmmm.... lets see what he does.

then what about www.googlecommunity.com

 

[RJ]

hmmm.... lets see what he does.

[Colleen]

Google also doesn't like their logo/colors used.

 

[Morgan]

Not Mine

Hi Morgan,
Actually the site is not mine. Just was trying to publicity it by telling it was mine.

The site belongs to my Friends company

 

[Masahiro]

...And let's hope that you're friends company dosen't get sued by Google.

A website like this is just asking for trouble
1)It states that it's "Google For India", which it is not, it isn't even Google's site.
2)It uses Google's trademark
3)It mimics their logo, plus their software

 

[cherry]

Lets see

Hi, lets see what google does

 

[PresFox]

the name google itself isnt trademarket, however the google logo is

 

[monRa]

In my opinion with just an email they can get the domain!

 

[RJ]

the name google itself isnt trademarket, however the google logo is

"Google" most certainly is trademarked.

 

[italks]

i dont think they can use google's logo in their own logo.Rest everything is all together different and there are many people who are using google in their domain .....

Still google people has final words to say.I think this needs to be reported.
