Patent application describes domain registration widget.
Google has filed an application (pdf) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to patent a “Method and Device for Domain Web Page Registration”.
The application describes a need by third-party website builder services to offer domain name registration to people after they create a website. Of course, almost all website builders offer domain name registration through a reseller system.
I believe that the patent is related to a widget Google designed to sell domain names to Blogger users. The patent claims:
“According to some implementations, the list may include one or more available domain names having a top-level domain selected to be emphasized by the third-party website. For example, if the third-party website provides services for bloggers, the top-level domain “.blog” may be selected to be emphasized.”
If you create a blog on the Blogger platform now, you will get a pop-up dialog about registering a domain name:
Once you search for a domain you will see results in the same dialog box:
While creating a widget dialog like this is a different implementation of domain reselling systems, domain resellers might want to take note of some of the claims Google is making in the patent application.
The patent application was filed in 2016 and published today.
GoDaddy and its famous “9 AI patents” should totally dispute Google’s claims.
I know from the international patent laws Global by my patent and trademark lawyer one of the top 10 in the world and currently as the first company in the EU.
In the early years of the Internet I myself wish to patent and trademark in the US and Global a part of a project of the summary and glossary of Marketing and not be admitted to process implying in the letter of the USPTO addressed to my lawyer that Marketing is not It was patentable at the US and Global level.
With time USPTO US and Global everything is patentable in reference to Marketing if it is presented as a program advertising was the first Adwords and Adsense and much more made law made the trap.
In domains such as well write @Acro, Godaddy is a reference, one of his unthinkable patents given by the USPTO was that of the domain names of the US and Global Trademark that third-party business market domains fail to register and use IBM, HP, DELL, SUN , the famous ADO etc to make money and it was used in a parking of domains with US headquarters and to give to understand that to obtain the shared benefaction with Godaddy, a founder of several important companies of the domain market in US and Global, that also patents from a few years ago towards here.
Everything is patentable in USPTO unlike the rest of the world, it is not good in my opinion, when you see some and others not in the same.
I hope that USPTO does not accept a project to patent a program for the use of data from people all over the world. It is better and this patented after accessing data by Cambridge Analytica, everything is possible in the current technologies already pantented.
