I am not with Boogle, nor do i have any affiliation, this thread only serves as information.

I saw the Boogle project a while ago and immidiatly noticed the similarity to, of course Google.

Was wondering how they could legally put out a search engine with such a similar Name.

Does anyone know if or if not they are affiliated with Google, how they were able to acquire Boogle.com? (Recently) And if they are not affiliated, how are they legally able to do it?

It pretty easy mate, they are making search engine decentralized so that people private information will be secure and they also offer a service of splitting their advertised earning to users of their search engine base of the numbers of advertisements link they click which i think will be challenge to tradition search engines and innovation like this is what we need not project which imitate others.

Well, again, that dosnt drill to the core, thats just what they offer or want to do. What me and a couple of other potential investors are wondering about is how they can operate with that company name/domain being a search engine and not get an asswhooping from google. Thats all.

There's nothing like ass whooping from Google because of the domain the project owner used since the domain was legally bought through GoDaddy LLC and if the boogle domain matter much to Google they would have bought it just like they did with the Google.net, social, .news etc.

It took me 3 seconds to find: https://domainnamewire.com/2012/04/16/google-files-complaint-against-domain-registered-1999/

This is a business on a confusingly similar domain with millions collected from investors, the business has been branding itself as Boogle and recently acquired Boogle.com. If y lawsuit of a few million, (maybe up to the hundreds) and a UDRP for the domain dosnt count as an ass-whooping, then i dont know what does. The question remains the same, why does google not do it (its not like they are not aware of the project). Instead they choose not to comment.

I never see the UDRP complaint before and as you said it a business on confusing similar domain but the domain aint the same name and if Google want to whoop-ass it will be Go daddy LLC ass because they are the one responsible for it all for it didnt take them nothing to inform Google about it in the first while they sell it to them for high price.

why does google not do it ? I dont know.
