Need Big Money Quick? Sue Google!
Interesting post at Wired, by Michael Myser
Certainly not a billion dollar idea, and probably not an idea we would recommend, but who knows, you or your company might be qualified enough to sue Google and make some serious millions (pocket change for the big G)
The post says how companies from all across the spectrum are running to the courthouse to sue Google.
Examples quoted:
Perfect 10 - the porn company is suing over Google helping others to get its pics free!
Universal Tube and Rollform - complaint: trademark infringement and "nuisance traffic" due to the similarities between utube.com and YouTube.com - hmmmph!
iLor - for alleged patent infringement on a hyperlinks idea
American Blind & Wallpaper - for Google allowing its competitors to purchase its name for their AdWords advertisements!
Intertainer - for infringing on its patent for delivering digital video and music over the Internet (and we thought every one on the Net had been delivering video and music last ten years).
Not sure how many of the above and many more who sue will succeed. But one thing is sure: Billion dollar successes sure will bring billion dollar bothers as well.
