China Company to Sue Google Over Name
July 16, 2007
Stumble it!A Chinese company is suing Google’s China subsidiary for copying its name, saying the U.S. search engine’s registered Chinese name is too similar to its own and has harmed its operations.
A spokesman for Beijing Guge Science and Technology Ltd. Co. said Google’s commercial name had led to the company being constantly disturbed by people calling up its office trying to contact the search engine.
“We just want Google to change their commercial name,” Tian Yunshan, a company official, told Reuters on Friday. “We have already passed our demands on to Google … We will see what happens in court.”

Guge is the name? It doesn’t sound anything like Google. Maybe in Chinese it does, but I don’t think they have a lawsuit. They must have alot of money though to go up against google.

They need a lot of money to win this lawsuit but I think competing with google is something like impossible.
