Google case put on hold

A High Court judge has put on hold a German software company action against Internet giant Google over an alleged trademark infringement until parallel proceedings before the German courts have been determined, writes Ann O'Loughlin.

As part of their proceedings TeamDrive Systems GMBH, which makes secure cloud based file sharing software for businesses and personal use, had sought an injunction from the Irish Court preventing Google Ireland Ltd and Google Commerce Ltd from infringing what it says is its 'TeamDrive' trademark.
