TM issues.. and why would you want a google free zone? i dont get the concept

 

[BottomFeeder]

I think it has a little worth, just considering that it is playing off a company/word that is so well known. Consider how saturated the market is for names with "sex" in them against the fact that "google", as a term, has 3x as many hits as "sex".
Apropos copyright infringment, doesn't that "parody" clause cover about everything?

why would you want a google free zone? i dont get the concept (loscocco)

Maybe it would work for people who don't like their spiders and crawlers, or the fact that they produced a censored version of their search engine for use in China?

This one is iffy to me, but a good use would be if it was used for free google adds. That could work well, if some other google stuff was added as well. Tim

Obvious TM issues, don't even bother.

Less than reg fee

 

[VioxxLawyers]

Trademark issue yes.

reg fee + TM fees = $XXX if not deleted
