Submission + - Google loses "Gmail" trademark case (pressesc.com)
amigoro writes: "A court in Germany today banned Google from using the name "Gmail" for its popular webmail service following a trademark suit filed by the founder of G-Mail. Daniel Giersch (33), started using the name G-Mail in 2000, four years before Google released "Gmail". "Google infringed the young businessman's trademark that had been previously been registered," said the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in its judgement."
