Group daily coupon company Groupon has recently been in the news for allegedly refusing to sell to Google. \u00a0Now days it is focused on continued growth and has targeted the Australian market where a competitor, Scoopon, has taken the registration of the domain groupon.com.au, as well as began to change its corporate name \u00a0accordingly.<\/p>\n
In their negotiations over their entry into Australia, Groupon reportedly offered $286,000 to Scoopon to transfer the domain. \u00a0Having initially accepted, the Australian competitor has changed its mind (at least as reported by Groupon<\/a>). \u00a0This now forces Groupon’s hand to pursue a\u00a0trademark\u00a0infringement lawsuit while negotiating a settlement.<\/p>\n Either way, this potentially cybersquatting case looks to offer a big payday for Scoopon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Groupon, the daily coupon site, is focused on continued growth and has targeted the Australian market where a competitor, Scoopon, has taken the registration of the domain groupon.com.au, as well as began to change its corporate name accordingly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6,10,21],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2xROl-3d","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ipmetrics.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
