Over 20 trademarked domain names registered by Salesforce.com
Written by DKD Trade , Wednesday, 29 April 2009
Salesforce.com,one of the leaders in on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) services registered over 20 direct navigation domain names. It seems that they have registered about 21 trademarked domain names such as YouTubeSalesforce.com,FacebookSalesforce.com,LinkedInSalesforce.com amd others.It's interesting for us to know whether those brand owners agreed to Salesforce.com's registrations of domains in which they have included their brands.Perhaps everything is alright,but there is a slight possibility to make thiose company lawyers cringe.
More strange is the fact that they registered Youtube domain names that include generic terms instead of Salesforce.com's name,such as YouTubeCloudComputing.com and YouTubeSuccessStories.com.
All that and more.It seems like all the domain names are registered in the name of some employees rather than the company.
Strange as it may seem we can only wait to see what is going to happen next.
