    Is "GoogleCoin®" your name too? Odd that you use a registered trademark indicia on a term on your website, but the records do not show any registered domains under that name. Are you aware that it is against the law to identify a mark as registered when it is not?

    GoogleCoin®

    Improper use of the federal registration symbol, (r), that is deliberate and intends to deceive or mislead the public or the Office is fraud. See Copelands' Enterprises Inc. v. CNV Inc., 945 F.2d 1563, 20 USPQ2d 1295 (Fed. Cir. 1991); Wells Fargo & Co. v. Lundeen & Associates, 20 USPQ2d 1156 (TTAB 1991).​


    I just figured I'd let you know. Obviously, you can do as you wish, but at least you are now aware of the potential issue.

    If Google buys the internet, then there'd be no need for any of us anymore. We might as well just closed down all our sites or sell it to them.

    I feel that in China Baidu is the hot one, Google had no choice but to play the second fiddle there. Wonder is Google dominant in India, or is there something like Baidu in India?

    I don't think it is possible. It would probably violate anti-trust laws. But I'm not sure how monopoly laws pertain to internet companies.
