A party called “Vulcan Golf LLC” is trying to sue Google and it’s adword program, along with 4 leading Domain registration services companies: Oversee.net, Sedo.com, Dotster.com (aka RevenueDirect.com) and Internet REIT (d/b/a [doing business as] IREIT). The lawsuit primarily says that the defendents (everyone above minu Vulcan Golf LLC) are violating Vulcan Golf’s trademark. The lawsuit also contends that the AntiCybersquatting Consumer Protection Act applies in this case as well.

I just typed in both vulcangolf.com and searched for “vulcan golf” (with and without the quotes). In all cases, this company seems to come up first in the results & there doesn’t seem to be any pages that mislead the consumer to think there is “another vulcan golf” or anything that seems to “diluted their trademarks” in any way. It looks like Vulcan Golf is just a little jealous they didn’t buy some Google stock before it shot up over $500 a share. They know that Google has money & thus, their need to file an overzealous & unreasonable lawsuit. What’s the use of filing 121 pages of complaints. Honestly, either the legal system is getting out of hand or jealous little companies who see riches are being abusive.

Regardless, if you want to read more of the 121 page filing, feel free to go here: http://claranet.scu.edu/tempfiles/tmp32687/vulcanvgooglecomplaint.pdf
