Before registering, I checked all other googledomains with the extensions .com, .net, .org, .us... they are registered by various individuals and firms, and used as parking accounts by different firms (with advertisements on, like with sedo.com... etc). I believe the word 'google' is used as a verb (from dictionary) in the sense of 'searchdomains'.

 

Of course it has trademark issues. Google is a Federal trademark.

 

Is it the same when you use 'Google' as a noun and 'google' as a verb that has made its place in the modern dictionaries?

 

The usage can determine infringement - i.e. Apple is a common word, but still trademarked in various classifications. Google has a much stronger argument for almost anything web based, and since they are a domain registrar and offer domains via partners, the name combination alone is going to be a problem.

 

You are a 'spirit walker' and I'm a 'grunt', it indicates you are better met with the world of domains than me, with a greater knowledge surely.

Just to note: Apple and google can't be compared in the sense that Apple presents a noun solely, and google a noun and a verb. I believe 'copyright' of a verb from the dictionary is essentially different.

This is the definition of a noun: The part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing.

With Google as a noun you are point to someone, with google as a verb it's more general, since by using a verb you are not pointing at anyone specific as it's a word used not to define a person, individual, an object but express actions, events, or states of being.

 

Copyright has nothing to do with this. Google is a Federally Registered trademark. Any domain that incorporates "google" in it is going to give you problems unless you registered the domain before google trademarked it.

Number of posts mean nothing, but I owned several trademarks and have spent over a million on trademark related litigation so I know at least a little.

If google sues you (and although not required, they would send a C&D first) you would spend a minimum of $30,000 defending your rights. If you win, you get nothing for attorney fees. If you lose, you could be held liable for damages and treble legal fees since they own a registered mark.

Don't take my word, ask an intellectual property rights attorney or just email google and ask them if they have a problem with the domain. A lot a trademarks disputes fall into a grey area, but this one is black and white imo.

 

Thanks. I'll let the domain go in veins if it needs to.

I'm interested to know as I'm still learning, are you making differences between 'trade-marking' a noun and a verb? Can a dictionary verb be 'trade-marked'?

The word 'google' as a verb made it in the modern dictionaries, I haven't heard the word 'yahoo' made it in as a verb, i.e. I heard for the verb phrase 'google it', but I haven't heard for 'yahoo it', so I'd not register anything having to do with the word yahoo, since, as far as I am aware, it presents only a noun.
