23andMe

This will be sure.ly an interesting case. Firm 23andMe.com founded by Anne Wojcicki (the wife of Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google) and Linda Avey offers people services of analysing and comparing their genomes (made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, hence the name). Google is an investor in this venture, although Mr Brin has […]

ovi.com versus ovi.mobi versus ovi.me

Woo.Me

Today, Sherry Humphreys registered Woo.Me. Well, darling, I am just wondering how would you go about WooMe.com, an established trademark? So far the site is just parked at GoDaddy. Sure.ly it will be an interesting case in the future.

Inspire.me

A good domain, wasted. Inspire.me was acquired by the owners of trademark “Inspire Me Today”, which they registered in 2006.
