arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has awarded Google 13 Google,Android-related domain names.Google submitted a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on October 11,2011 ,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain names . The 13 domain names are : androidgoggle.com, androidintel.com, flyingandroid.com, googlebug.com, googlecitysearch.com, g00gler.com, googlesandroid.com, googlesthinkquarterly.com, lifegoogle.com, opensourceandroid.com, phandroid.net, sellyourandroid.com, and technoandroid.com .
Google owns many trademark registrations for the "Android" and "Google" marks.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to its trademarks.Moreover,the company contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith :
"According to Complainant’s screen shots, Respondent’s , , , , , and domain namesresolve to websites hosting competing and unrelated hyperlinks."
"Complainant’s screen shots show that the , , , , , , and domain namesresolve to websites only hosting unrelated hyperlinks."
The Panel ordered the disputed domain names be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.About Eranet
