   ... whether the infringer has deep pockets or not, google is still stepping on a valid trademark in the toy space. This is why we have a trademark system, so businesses don't compete with each other using the same (or very similar) names!

   Yup. I'm not denying that Googles has a valid claim. I'm just amused by the timing of the lawsuit.

   An Infringement is an infringement

   I don't think this company is being the least bit reasonable. They are not asking for a percentage of profits for the very valid copyright infringements. They are simply asking to be the preferred choice for " google " to point to when their protected word is used by Google users.
   
   I would think the search engine companies legal team would see that this is a simple request and one that could be much less costly than losing their rights to the name " google".
