GOOGLE Inc, owner of the world's most-used Internet search engine, won a lawsuit in China over its subsidiary's name and trademark in Chinese, ending an 18-month dispute with a local company.
Google China will be paid 100,000 yuan (US$14,624) in compensation from Beijing Guge Science and Technology Co, according to a filing by Beijing's Haidian District court yesterday. In 2006, Google named its unit in the country ''Gu Ge'', which means ''harvesting song'' in Chinese. A year later, Beijing Guge sued Google, claiming the California-based Internet company was using its name. The court ruled that Beijing Guge must stop using the name because it belongs to Google's China unit, according to the filing.
