Google sued by Planet Goo

**radio667** · 07-09-2004, 08:32 AM

from the register ... Google Inc, the search engine whose brand is synonymous with colorful, childlike marketing, has been sued by a real children's site for trademark infringement. Stelor Productions, which has owned the googles.com domain since 1997 says that the lawsuit comes after six years of trying to negotiate with the Mountain View based tech company. Stelor is also trying to revoke Google's trademark at the US Patent and Trademarks Office. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07...e_sues_google/
