Gmail UK and the importance of global thinking about IP
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Google has run into a trademark problem in the UK. It seems that another company is claiming rights in the GMAIL name. So as of October 19, 2005, Google has stopped issuing @gmail.com accounts. It will instead issue @googlemail.com addresses for new email accounts for people in the UK. This illustrates the importance of clearing product names is all relevant markets before launching.
