Google can’t get Gmail.cn

Google is trying to buy a domain Gmail.cn - but so far unsuccessfully.



A Reuters agency source said that Google is in talks to buy the Gmail.cn domain, but the Chinese company ISM Technologies refuses to sell it, even despite a notice from Google that the Chinese site logo is similar to the Gmail.com email service logo.



At the moment, Gmail.cn is one of the most popular “social” portals in China, providing users with both email and other services (photo and video hosting, a blogging site, a poster, etc.).

In contrast to the situation in Poland , in China, the American company has less chance of winning in case of litigation over trademark rights, according to a Reuters source. This is due to both the peculiarities of the legislation and political aspects.
