Goojje told to stop using Google trademarks
Google has sent a cease and desist letter to the people behind Goojje, telling them to stop using Google's logo, which is protected by trademark. As we noted earlier, Goojje is a pun: the jje part of it sounds like "jie jie (姐姐)" or sister, which mirrors how Google's last syllables sound like "ge ge (哥哥)" or brother. It was started as a semi-serious protest piece asking Baidu and Google to work out their troubles, and begging Google not to leave China because "Goojje would be lonely." Guess Google didn't like the joke?
