I am not with Boogle, nor do i have any affiliation, this thread only serves as information gathering (if anyone has any cause Boogle just says nothing ... basically, and Google no comments).

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. (Domain even).

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?

I did try reaching out but no information was provided by either side...not to mention, they currently have a $7bn market (for their entire coin supply).

Found their pitch and wp so on here https://dmh.co/index.php/9-featured/26-welcome

They also seem to have a youtube/twitter/fb none of which is very informative, Not what a 7Bn project ussually looks like.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION...!!
 (cause it seems most cant read or are making comments not knowing anything about trademarks-----domains-----laws....


The question being asked here is, if Google is not involved with them whatsoever, (and did not give them the rights or permission), How and why are they not getting sued, what they are doing is not permitted anywhere in the world, let alone based out of SG.

I guess the thread serves as advertisement for that site. Google is totally different to Boogle and Google will never destroy their brandnew by replacing Google by Boogle. Never. If Google launch their coin, its name will be Google or other one but never be Boogle. Boogle brandname looks very like a phishing one.

Yeah Boogle is a browser that has own blockchain. Its just imitating Google design but totally different from it. Ive try using it and its fast also. Maybe because their browser is new. Also theres a chance to earn BOO tokens which currently traded already and has been listed on CMC. I think this isnt a bad project at all considering the info of their team and everything about it. I do hope they launch a bounty campaign here in forum.

Its not, i expect they will do their own announcement.

Also, the rest of yur response has nothing to do with the questions asked.

This means that they are not really from Google? There were rumors that Google will also have its venture in cryptocurrencies that's why some can't avoid thinking that projects like this might belong to Google.
But, we don't know if it's from them or not. We have to wait for their announcement if they are already in.

Of course we have to wait, just making the thread to see if someone out there happens to know more. + I like theory talk especially when im bored...

I find it extremly unlikely that a company like Google would let someone use Boogle as their search engine brand, if they are not a sub-co or affiliated (Partnered).

They are actually real and being traded on Digifinex  ;D

The domain has been around since 1999 according to whois (https://whois.domaintools.com/boogle.com), that's two years after google was registered. I can't find any article that says Google sued Boogle since 1999 so I guess it was legal.

I bet Boogle was purchased or someone partnered with the original owner to turn it into another Brave/BAT project.

I've googled actually the word Boogle and there's an actual relation to them. Let's wait for someone more knowledgeable about the things that Google does or knows more about this Boogle.

They recently switched from Boogle.io to the mainpage Boogle.com, from what i can see claiming to have simply purchased Boogle.com

The thing is, i cant imagine Google not winning if they sued Boogle, and unless they are partnerd i cant see how they wouldnt do that.
Thats like if i opened a company called Chevolet, as my car brand. Or a social network called Lacebook, thats simply not gonna happen.

Reason for making the thread (to be clear) is because my attempts at asking for info where simply ignored :). (+ i think if someone just creates a 7bn market and dosnt announce on here, that people dshould know).

This is crypto world, a place where anyone can become a developer and steal big companies name to deceive investors, this boogle have nothing to do google, if the project is from Google it won't be too hard to figure it out, it will be plain to everyone

the concept is as useful as the Google search engine, I don't know if it will be widely used or desirable, considering that Google is the number 1 search engine in the world and there are still many that are no less famous like Yahoo, Amazon or other sites.

Google is copyrighted to Alphabet Inc, while Boogle is not. It's an old marketing technique to create something similar to a well-known company and Boogle is doing just that. For your information, foogle.com, hoogle.com, toogle.com or even voogle.com is not available for buying and they are termed as premium in some domain marketplace. Also these domains don't have any website associated with them. So apparently, some domain flippers have bought such domains to resell. Not necessarily, they will have to be affiliated with Google for that! 

If it was Google so why they use Boogle instead of Google? No reason for it. Maybe that they buy the domain Boogle.com and using the similar name as Google to boost their project.

It sounds like but the name doesn't really matter at all. Facebook has Libra and it's far from its original name so it's not that a big deal for Google if they choose Boogle.
Thus, we are not yet sure if this is really them.

First you have to ask yourself, do Google really need this or not?

Obviously, they have tons of money at their disposable, so I don't think that they will just go and join cryptosphere right now just to get some money from investors. I wouldn't be surprised if this project will go and run away and pull an exit scam. So I will advise everyone to stay away from it so that you won't regret in the end.

Nah, I don't think that this is related to Google in any shape or from. The people behind Boogle are just using the name of Google to hype their project simply as that. $7 billion? that's the first red flag already, so I wouldn't even put a single satoshi on this project. And once Google find out about this project, lawsuit might follow, there's even a https://boogle.com/, same name. So this project is not to be trusted, IMHO. But thanks for bringing this up to the community, I guess this serves as a warning as well.

Maybe they want to mislead people to visit boogle and not google ;D

Or maybe that is their strategy to use that name.

If Google wants to launch its own coin, they will give an announcement to the public, and they will invite so many clients that already use their services to the crowdfunding. I think there is no correlation between Boogle and Google, and maybe they want to create something different.

So its more like Brave browser.

Well that is cool since they are competing for a large company.
They have the courage to do it.

But I find it better when it comes to being unique. They just changed a one letter in the name.
Hoping to see something better about them.
Will try it out later.

Don't you think if they were affiliated to Google that Google would've made the word blast with the news? There's no affiliation here to me it's all for awareness purpose for the new search engine.

If Boogle outcry try to confuse users that they are Google, passing like they were the accual Google and doing illegal stuff like stealing Google users information,... If not, I don't think Google would care about them.

If they were google, we would definitely got an authentic source of the project existence. Since google has never shared anything, I think they are not affiliated with google. Just because the name is near to google does not mean it is from google.

Of course not, if Google launched the cryptocurrency then surely they will create huge hype in this market. I stay in this market often but haven't heard any news related to it. And I also think that google will never create cryptocurrencies at the moment because it's not really necessary

So, the general line of thought seems to be, They just changed the name to profit of the brand?

The thing is, they are around since 2017, and have offices up, logos, meetings, and all that... As someone pointed out, there is Toogle Zoogle etc etc, from what i have seen thou, the moment someone tries to launch a search engine on a name like that they would get sued up and down by Google.

Any TM lawyers around? How can a company set up a search engine with such a similar name with offical offices in SG, and NOT get sued? This a trick id like to know about.

Definitely not, because I tried to find all information related to Google but they didn't seem to have created any projects, they didn't even have a plan to create cryptocurrency for the company. their. Maybe someone has tried to name it like google to create hype for their project

That's really weird they should be sued for imitation, but I guess they are not that popular and it does not yet under Google management radar, so we still don't know if they are going to sue it but they do come out in the Google search engine, honestly i am, not aware of this project and they are traded on exchanges with bad reputation like LATOKEN.

I am not sure what the intention of OP is but this seem like an indirect advert to me. Google would have made an announcement about this and this would have been trending on internet. And why would Google even choose such a dry name.

Intention: See if anyone knows anything.

Google would have... why?

The main question that no one can answer is, how does google not sue them?
Whats clear as daylight is that one cant just create a car company and call it Fesla, or a socialnetwork and call it Bacebook, so, if, Google did not ok a search engine called Boogle (I mean come on, infringement couldnt be any clearer) , then how are they 3 years in, millions in funding, offices in SG, etc etc, without getting sued.
 
That, is the question.

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.

Soon there is going to be another one.
It will be called Booger. Copying Boogle on this part.  ;D

Google company have the greatest workers in their field. You cannot be employed there without an artistic and half a genius mind.
One of my friend is working there so I know so.
I know how he forged himself just so to get his goal into working in that company.

They are not that kind of a fool to make another name just so to make their own competition. They would rather fix the flaws on their service.

Probably he is informing us about the project Boogle. It will never be affiliated on Google, cause if Google wants to create a token why would they name it like this. I prefer to stick with ticker GOO for Google but they never intended to create one. I see their interest on blockchain but since bitcoin was introduced they never really spotted building or even plan yet. Maybe for now, but who knows if Google has some sort also of plan to launch. We can never say right?

I think you're smart enough to be able to learn about it, btw I think you are trying to create a misleading topic and promote this project. Obviously it has nothing to do with google, they just named like google to attract investors

And another one, again, they are out for 3years, law clearly dosnt permit what they are doing. No where in the world, let alone SG. The question is, if google isnt in, how are they not getting sued.

What the op is asking is why is Google not suing Boogle for such similarities in name. It is like a rhyme and I also find it deceitful. I know there is a copyright law against such act. If the project was not out to deceive people may be it should have picked a different name. The only difference is in there first letters, G and B.

Such a weird coin name, but i don't think they are affiliated with Google.
There are many altcoins in cryptocurrency with unique coin name, but only few of them are success now.
What most important is when you want to invest on the project of the coin, you must do some intensive researches about the project.

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.

With my research about the project, they didnt affiliated with google and they are independent project which planned to share the rewards/income with the search engine user

You're totally right and i dont see something to be wow about this project except the making of search engine decentralized and if this project dies not have utilize potential it wont be successful in the future.

No need to discuss, if it was created by google then surely we have received notice from them in the major newspapers in this market. But I haven't heard any information regarding google creating their own cryptocurrency. Obviously this is a shitcoin

It's quite cheap of them to use the Google name, turn the "g" upside down and make it "Boogle". It is just cringy imo.

If Boogle was somehow affiliated with Google, don't you think Google would've stated it from the beginning? If they were affiliated and Google did not want anyone to know, they obviously wouldn't have chosen this name. So no, it's the same situation a supposed "coin" from a few days ago was in on BTCTalk when they put its shortname as "CMC" for people to mistake the coin for CoinMarketCap. It's a semi-smart, semi-stupid strategy.

You just don't try rising your project based on someone else's name. If you go that path, lots of people will disrespect you and your name for doing it. Cheap shit.

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.

I believe they've used "Boogle" which is that close to "Google" just the fact to use its popular factors of getting noticed. Just like other brands which aren't the same thing but close enough and much more sounds like that would ring a bell when discussed.  ;D

They are not yet  in Google's radar, but if they become popular, Google will look at them and they may charge them because of copyright infringement and imitation, developers should always out for imitation or they will lose a lot if they are charged for infringement, so not a good idea to do imitation.

Also Boogle might be derived from "Google" itself and powered by Blockchain, that's why it's called BOOGLE. Makes sense?  8)
