Good morning, everyone... The following was borrowed from another newsgroup that appears here locally, which made me want to ask a question:
GOOGLE WINS TYPOSQUATTING CASE Google has the rights to several misspellings of its domain name, according to a decision by the National Arbitration Forum (NAF). Google had filed a complaint against Sergey Gridasov, a Russian man who had registered domain names of googkle.com, ghoogle.com, gfoogle.com and gooigle.com, saying that he was profiting from Google's name with the domains, which are common mistypings of google.com. Gridasov reportedly used the domains to redirect Web surfers to sites that would download various kinds of malware to their computers. Because Gridasov did not respond to the complaint, the NAF was compelled to accept the allegations in Google's complaint. According to the NAF, Gridasov is not entitled to use the domains, which are confusingly similar to Google's. Reuters, 8 July 2005 http://today.reuters.com/business/newsArticle.aspx?storyID=nN78398318 So, in other words, Google has the rights to domains because people cannot type?
