Poor Google, those Europeans just don't understand that its best for us all to just shut-up and do what Google says. First all those news websites suing for infringing content cause Google News linked to their articles. And now they've lost the broad European trademark for GMail to a letter delivery service in Germany. Like actual letters, not e-letters or anything. They tried to buy the name off Daniel Giersch for 250,000 but it was no deal. GMail is apparently too well established in Germany for him to give it up. Google also lost out in the UK where GMail is an analytical software package.
I think they should take the high road and name their service "GermanyMail". Or if that's already taken, how about "GierschMail"?
