Buzzkill: Google Won Disputed Googlebuzz.com Domain A Month Ago

Naturally, which you launch a new product with a huge amount of hype, like Google Buzz, you're going to want to own the .com domain name for it. And Google obtained googlebuzz.com just in the nick of time, according to a document from the National Arbitration Forum. On November 13, 2009, Google, represented by Meredith M. Pavia (presumably, a Google lawyer), filed a complaint that BuzzNews Network was using the googlebuzz.com domain in bad faith. Further, they argued that it was "confusingly similar" to Google's trademark on the company name. This was an easy one for the forum to rule on since BuzzNews Network never responded to the complaint.
