I typo'd gmail.com as gmIAl.com (flipped I and A).
They know they are a gmail typo, they even say "You’re right, this isn’t Gmail.com. You accidentally mistyped Gmial.com into your address bar. "
Then they pitch their own email service.
That domain is getting a TON of traffic too:
Does it meet UDRP requirements?
(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
Google has at least two TMs:
Electronic mail services. (2004)
Communications services -- namely, transferring of electronic messages for groups of two or more people by means of a global computer network. (1998)
Only interesting thing is 2003 registration date, but Google has 1 TM predating that. Plus they acknowledge it's confusing with gmail.
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
No TM on 'gmial' nor do they use it as their brand.
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Pretty sure trying to steal customers using someone else's brand is bad faith.
I am shocked Google hasn't taken this one or taken some action. Is it legitimate when companies do it but not domain parking?
