With the sale of YouTube to Google, Inc. (NYSE:GOOG) there has been increased web chatter about possible lawsuits against either the new owners or the old for various copyright, and fair (or unfair) usage issues. One lawsuit that is already going forward however, is in the less-blogged-about area of trademark infringement. From our sister blog, Blogging Ohio, comes the news that the Toledo-based Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation, a manufacturer of actual tubes (but probably not the kind a certain senator thinks the Internet is made out of) has used the domain utube.com for more than a decade. Unfortunately, since the rise of YouTube, the manufacturing company has seen unwanted hits to its website skyrocket, has had to increase bandwidth, and also had to deal with large amounts of email sent by mistake.
