Google UK is threatening to sue Dutch cybersquatter who has used the name Google cunningly in several domains, including Googledatingsite.nl, Googleonlineshop.com, Googlecommunity.nl and Googlestore.nl. Marcel van der Werf ran these sites from the UK.

"To my knowledge a brand is related to a product, not to the alphabet," Van der Werf complained to the Dutch news site Webwereld. He has moved Googledatingsite.nl to Russia, "where Americans won't get in the way."

I think that the ruling was correct.

Van der Werf is clearly trying to profit off of Google. I would be more heartened towards his argument if he had been running the websites before Google was formed or if there some sort of logic in his names aside from profiteering.
