the protection of the marks

The new encyclopaedia of Google Knol who should seriously compete with Wikipédia will certainly not have, before one moment, his own domain name.

In spite even of an offer with five digits made by Google Inc, the holder of the domain name knol.com, a small company of apparatuses of cleaning to vapor Dutchwoman, refused to resell its domain name.

One can read on site of the company:

NOTE: We salt steamcleaning equipment and gift' T salt our domain!!

The latter specify that they could accept an offer with 6 digits but not in lower part being given the level of imposition to height 52% to the Netherlands.

Steph Guerin, us points out, illustrated analyses of Google trends, that this business will attract much audience on the site of the small company. A traffic not targeted but a traffic all the same and a beautiful advertizing at cost zero.

How to explain that Google did not anticipate this problem?

Izabel Vasqez, on ojodominios, the idea defends according to which the step of Google is not the fruit of the Chance. Indeed, the great transactions of domain names make so much speak about them that the repurchase of Knol.com has an even prohibitory price would compensate for the price of a large publicity campaign for launching  service.

In any case, if the new encyclopaedia of Google wishes to compete with Wikipedia, it should seriously lean on versions by country and consequently by the recording of domain names in the principal extensions geographical. However, as well as for the search engine Cuil, the whole of the extensions country on the Knol denomination are recorded by thirds and direct for the majority, worms of the carpark pages of pay per click.
