And this coupled with Google's hate for the German legislation to ban all anonymous accounts might pull GMail out of there forever ..

Tradationally trademarks and copyrights fought on some family connection...whenever the Royal name was used 'Royal underwear' the british monarch offended...They can claim their name was used for commercial name.. Google has registered its trade mark of Google along with it familiar G and the G-Mailcopyright holder couldn't use the G with his patent also mail is not a name and it is a service such as Postal.. so if some body get copyright SAM POST and if Inda Post is advertising and the party can claim the POST is copyrighted ?service name canbe affixed for clarity purpose..
However in this instant case both of Gmail and G-mail is different so no copyright is infringed.. both of them can use the titles.

Google has also filed lawsuits against Giersch in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland...But a court in Switzerland threw out Google's case...
Google tried a buy-out and even legal brow-beating, but failed to reach a settlement. the guy was using and had regd the G-Mail trademark 3 years earlier ! so the courts ruled in his favour.
A case of corporate bullying here ? But then its not Microsoft, its Google...so things will be viewed in a different perspective
