Google wins domain case

According to NAF Google Inc has won its case regarding the disputed usage of the domains: googkle.com ghoogle.com gfoogle.com gooigle.com Domain squatting, or more specifically, typo squatting, is an ongoing problem for any company with a notable presence. Within the IE namespace it is much harder for would be squatters to register the domain, never mind actually abusing it. However, this does not mean that they do not try. I am aware of at least two attempted registrations of gooogle.ie (sic) in the last 3 months. In the first instance the IEDR blocked the registration, whereas in the second the registration was rejected by the reseller. There probably are more cases, but gathering the data would be awkward.
