In a similar case, Google has won important cases recovered more than 750 domain names related to its brand that an individual holding.

Google has used the "power" to revoke the domain name related to their
Gillespie used the phrase "Google" to combine with many other brand name and domain name registration of ownership, as GoogleDonaldTrump.com, GoogleHonda.com, GoogleGayFacebook.com ...
According to Google's complaint, Gillespie has diverted at least one of the domain name to their own Web sites that contain pornography with men, and did not have any relevance to Google as well as any the name of the brand or product on domain names.
For his part, Gillespie argues that his actions only to monitor traffic to each domain that you own and said the purpose of registering domain names as part of plans to "develop the relations based on social networks, allowing users to interact with each other through the content, products and services related to the interests of the community. "
Gillespie also argues that Google is not protected by trademark law, because "google" which was included in the Oxford English dictionary as a verb, meaning "search on the Internet", it has become a from school, instead of a protected trademark.
However, NAF has decided that Google is a trademark has been registered for protection not only in the U.S. and also in all other countries in the world.
NAF was then agreed to allow recovery of these domains. Google has called it "the most aggressive campaign to prevent infringement of domain names that Google has encountered."
It is known that Gillespie had spent the money more than 10 thousand dollars to own the entire 763 related domain name and brand association with Google.
This is not the case winning domain name related to the biggest brand names in history. Earlier, in 2009, the chain travel, resort and hotel InterContinental Hotel in the UK have won 1542 lawsuit to recover the domain name violations and unauthorized use of its brand.
In Vietnam, the status of domain names associated with the major brands in the country occupied by individuals for purposes of self-interest also occurs very popular.
Many domain names major brands of Vietnam are the individuals in Vietnam quickly occupied, but the "scream" at very high prices, causing businesses to "step back" before the intended acquisition.
Without appropriate sanctions, nor tendency to grasp, the promoters Vietnam to the world, at least some of the world will become more difficult, when the domain name easy memory, associated respectively with the brand in the hands of others.
