An arbitrator with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has awarded the domain name Googletg.com to Google. The company submitted a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center on March 28, 2011,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name .

Google owns many trademark registrations for the "Google" mark.Therefore,they contended that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.

Moreover,they contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith.

"Respondent was using the Complainant’s trademark to promote third parties’ goods. Also, the Respondent acknowledged during the proceeding that it had knowledge of the Complainant. The Respondent while having knowledge of the Complainant intended to trade off its goodwill. The Respondent’s actions therefore constitute bad faith."

The respondent failed to submit a response in this proceeding .

The Panel ordered the disputed domain name be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
