EUIn a recent case before the Arbitration Center 
for .EU Disputes, Google failed to gain control of the disputed domain name Googles.EU. Google had instructed its Irish subsidiary to file the case, presumably to meet registry rules that require .EU domain owners to be located in the European Union. However, the Google trademark is owned by the U.S. 
company, and the Irish subsidiary did not provide any documentation that would authorize it to act on behalf of Google USA. Therefore the case was rejected.
The defendant, even though his response turned out to be irrelevant, asserted that Google didn't have any rights to Googles.EU, primarily because "Google" doesn't equal "Googles" and because the GOOGLES trademark is registered to other unrelated companies.
