I’m stealing Dan Gilmor’s whole post. It’s only interesting because of his comment on the situation:

The Independent: To google or not to google? It’s a legal question: But the California-based company is becoming concerned about trademark violation. A spokesman confirmed that it had sent the letters. “We think it’s important to make the distinction between using the word Google to describe using Google to search the internet, and using the word Google to describe searching the internet. It has some serious trademark issues.”
There’s a great idea: Force people to stop reinforcing your brand. Sounds like Google has too many lawyers…
