Google received the .XXX domain

Google has received the GoogleXXX.com domain. This domain name was obtained by the company following its complaint in a domain arbitration court. Among the company's arguments is its ownership of the registered Google trademark.

However, experts believe this domain arbitration ruling is questionable. While it would be fair for the company to gain control of the Google.XXX domain, the claims regarding GoogleXXX.com mean that other trademark owners could also lay claim to domains like trademarkxxx.com or even namexxx.com.

This decision could pose serious risks for brand owners and for users who will be unsure whether the domain namexxx.com is the official website of a particular company.
