The National Arbitration Forum has ruled in Google's favor. Legal representatives of Google were before the forum with concerns over the rights to Internet domain names googkle.com, ghoogle.com, gfoogle.com and gooigle.com. Sergey Gridasov registered these addresses on January 12, 2001, over a year after Google established their domain name. Visitors who tried to access these addresses were directed sites that attempted to download malicious files to the user's computer.
NAF had little choice in accepting these allegations as true.
In an unsigned email response to the Associated Press, Gridasov acknowledged he had registered these domain names because of their similarity to Google's and that they might attract more viewers.
