Buzz! Wrong! Thank you for playing!

You really should learn the maxim "It is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Apparently you have no idea how trademark law works.

First, it is VERY hard to prove abandonment of a trademark. Second, they don't have to "defend" their trademark as simply using it will suffice.

You see, the way trademark law works is it provides you with ownership of intellectual property. In other words, the fine folks at Jarg create a piece of programming which they trademark. It's now their's and their's alone.

Now, say that they later discover the Google is using their software. It makes no difference when they notice this. I am unsure as to whether or not there is a statue from once they realize that there has been trademark infringement to the time they apply for a resolution via the courts.

That would be called a "statute of limitations" which again proves that you know little of what you comment on. Google states they have not been served yet so this hasn't even gone to trial yet.

That said, if Google did use the intellectual property of another with out their approval then who are you to say that the other party should not be granted their due? I highly doubt you would feel the same were you in their role.
