The 25 domain names are : googelemaps.com, googldocs.com, googleail.com, googleamail.com, googleamaps.com, googleboooks.com, googlechrme.com, googledocs.net, googleimags.com, googleimeges.com, googleimges.com, googleka.com, googlelaps.com, googlelmaps.com, googlemaiol.com, googlemamps.com, googlemaops.com, googlemapc.com, googlemasps.com, googlemsil.com, googlemsps.com, googlermaps.com, googltalk.com, googlwmail.com and wwwgooglechrome.com.
In the same rulling Google was awarded other 18 Google-related domain names .Both respondents in the case ,which may have been the same person are in China.
The other 18 domain names are : agogle.com,androia.com,googai.com,googlbe.com,googleamps.com,googlecharome.com,googlecherome.com,googlenaps.com,googleshrome.com,googoleearth.com,gooygle.com,uyutube.com,webgmail.com,wwwgoogla.com,wwwgoogloe.com,wwwmgoogle.com,wwwyoutuobe.com and yytube.com .
It was more than obvious that the disputed domain names will be handled to Google.The company owns many trademark registrations for the "Google","Youtube", "Android" and "Gmail" marks all over the world .
The respondent /respondents used the domains for " fraudulently collecting personal information or “phishing,” “pay-per-click” advertising, and/or to redirect Internet users to third-party commercial websites".
Google managed to demonstrate all the elements required and the Panel ordered the disputed domain names to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant .
