According to "The Times"

Google did not register the name Gmail as a trademark
quickly enough so 3 other companies have done so, so the
name Gmail may have to be scrapped and if it is it might be
the case that they will have to abandon the @gmail.com
domain and email addresses that have already been allocated.
Google letimately owns the "gmail.com" internet name, but it
is not clear what will happen if it does not gain the
trademark.

Hmmmmm......anyone else got anymore on this? I know quite a
few here are now using this

I'm using my Gmail linked with MSN Messenger, and my current
ISP's email is shite, so I was about to consider using my
GMail as my primary address. I think I'll hold on for a bit.

If the trademark applications were applied for after google
started using the gmail.com domain then they have every
right to continue using that domain regardless of who holds
the trademark of gmail.

It sounds like scare mongering by a journo who doesn't know
exactly what they are on about.
