.goo is a Brand TLD proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. NTT Resonant Inc. manages the TLD and is its Registry. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on March 4th, 2015.[1]
Objection
An official Legal Rights Objection was filed by the applicant NTT Resonant Inc. against fellow applicant Google.[2]
A Legal Rights Objection, as defined by the ICANN approved mediator, WIPO, is when, "third parties may file a formal objection to an application on several grounds, including, for trademark owners and Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) [..] When such an objection is filed, an independent panel (comprised of one or three experts) will determine whether the applicant’s potential use of the applied-for gTLD would be likely to infringe [..] the objector’s existing trademark, or IGO name or acronym."[3]
Google subsequently withdrew its application in June 2013.[4]
