Google wins domain name dispute against India

[mark]

Internet search engine Google has won a domain name dispute against an Indian cybersquatter at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).

Google Inc has moved the Geneva-based WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Centre in October 2009 against Racha Ravinder, who had registered website 'googlenetbiz.com' and offered to sell it for 50,000 dollars (nearly Rs 23 lakh). The website was registered in July 2008.

Google had submitted that "the disputed domain name was confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark" in which it has rights. It further said, "The disputed domain name was registered in bad faith."

In response to the WIPO, Ravinder said, "I will sell my domain googlenetbiz.com for USD 50,000 only, do you buy it."

WIPO appointed sole panelist Cherise Valles ordered the transfer of domain name 'googlenetbiz.com' to the US-based internet giant.

No one can win courts against Google. Even if they wouldn't be right, they'd pay some kind of amount and still win that court.

Thats right. Google has so much authority.
Even if they are wrong, they can do what they want to.
WIPO has just become puppet in rich and mighty hands of google.

Google is a big company, they have money and everyone know that is a waste of time to mess with google.
But it's not fair to sue me and take my domain away.

Not a surprising decision.

This is quite a dispute. But, the results were inevitable, google would not dispute unnecessarily.
