Google loses Groovle domain name battle

Arbitrators Says Groovle Not Confusingly Similar To Google . It would be just like the battle between David and Goliath .
Google said the domain name used by the small business, 207 Media, was too similar to its own, but mediators the National Arbitration Forum disagreed.
Mr. Fuller’s Groovle – like virtually all sites that rely on Google’s custom search engine – depends on Google for its revenue. Once users search for something on Groovle, they are presented with the normal Google search results page, which contains ads. Google gives the custom search sites a cut of the revenue from those ads.

While Google could simply cut Mr. Fuller’s site off from the revenue-sharing program, he says it has yet to do so.

“They just paid us our December revenue today,” he said. “We’re still waiting to hear back from them. I guess we’ll wait and see.”
Groovle is powered by Google™, the most relevant search engine in the world. Users will not only have a unique homepage but also benefit from the best search results from the world’s largest search engine.
