GOOGLE THE internet search giant has managed to get back the domain name, Googblog.com owned by a Gujarat school boy. Google had to move the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) to get the domain name from Surendranagar based 17-year-old Herit Shah, who owned the domain.
The internet search giant claimed that the word 'Goog' in the domain was it's stock sticker at the NASDAQ. After deliberating on this issue, the WIPO this week found merit in the claims of Google and asked Shah to transfer the domain name to the US company.Earlier in the beginning of the year, the teenager had received a letter from a Google's legal representatives based in Gurgaon asking him to handover the domain to the US search company under IPL norms.
However, when Shah defended his position, Google filed a case at the WIPO in March, which ultimately decreed that he had to handover the domain name to Google.
Herit, who sat for class XII exams this year has initiated the process of returning the Googblog domain name to the internet giant. He expressed no regrets and said that the case filed against him by Google had made him realise his worth.
