Google this week lost an initial attempt to gain sole control over the Gmail trademark in Switzerland, but the search giant said the ruling would not force it to rename its e-mail service there.
The Zurich Commercial Court on Monday dismissed Google's arguments in a lawsuit challenging a trademark registered by German venture capitalist Daniel Giersch, who runs an electronic postal delivery business in Germany and Switzerland that goes by the name G-mail (short for "Giersch mail").
The Mountain View, Calif.-based corporation had argued that Giersch had registered the name in bad faith, but the Swiss court disagreed. Google plans to file an appeal.
