Google Inc. failed to win its arbitrated domain name dispute against groovle.com registrant, 207 Media Inc., of Oakville, Ontario. The loss represents only the second failure by Google to obtain a domain name transfer or cancellation in over 60 similar proceedings.
207 Media operates groovle.com to provide custom search services in accordance with Google’s own custom search interface and pursuant to a contract to provide Google Pay Per Click (“PPC”) advertisements via customized start pages. Users of groovle.com services see advertisements provided by Google, and Google pays a small percentage of the PPC advertising revenues to 207 Media. Following earlier exchanges with Google, 207 Media removed references to Google on its site and entered a disclaimer of any association. Google was not satisfied.
