Google is one of the most aggressive companies out there with WIPO cases (along with Microsoft and Dell). I don't even think they ask - they just file a WIPO. You have a WIPO against you and they win, you're flagged as a cybersquatter on the internet since the filings are all public information.

Google doesn't own a TM for gphone. In fact, there really isn't an official gphone to speak of (although in the news, android is somtimes called gphone). He has nothing to worry about.

It is their product, though. Some companies feel they do not need a TM for a WIPO, too.

I have a feeling that when it becomes popular you'll see a lot of claims from Google on G-phone related domains.
 
If gphone is locked for sale like iphone, then it worths mid $xxx
 
Isn't it called the G1 and not the G-phone?

very concerning to me, since i own some.

what WIPO case are you referring that they did not allow the registrant to respond?

that would be pretty aggressive and sort of against their "do no evil" motto they like to claim.

however, it would be in line with their procedures of doing as many things as possible via automation so in one sense i wouldnt be surprised.

but a quick search found this WIPO, and here, the registrant failed to respond at first, so that is why, i believe, it went as far as it did.

is it not part of standard dispute procedure to give the registrant a chance to give it up first before it is made public?

It is known as the G1, some people will call it the google phone, but I have yet to hear GPhone, I have had the phone since it came out and since then at least 5 of my friends have got it. Again, never heard the term "Gphone", but I guess you never know with google and their never ending legal team and WIPO cases.
