An arbitration panel recently ruled that Google's challenge of the domain name Froogles.com had no merit. Google filed suit against Richard Wolfe, a New York carpenter who registered the service nearly two years before Google launched its shopping search service named Froogle after Wolfe issued a challenge to Google's trademark application on the term Froogle.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office declared in March that Froogles.com was not similar enough to Google to cause confusion and that Wolfe could continue to use the domain name.
