Google,now a part of Alphabet,buys new domain,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com

Google has registered itself on Alphabet.Days after registering Alphabet as the publicly traded company,Google-who now operates as a fully subsidiary of Alphabet-has bought an unusual domain name-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com.

According to domain database whois,the domain was registered on August 2,1999 and was updated on October 2,2015.As of now there is no information on the price it was bought for.


The full sequence of the letters of the Roman alphabet in the domain name is an obvious reference to Google's new parent-Alphabet.But Google's intention of taking a long domain is still unclear.
But unfortunately Google doesn't have a right to use Alphabet.com,because the right to use this domain is already with the company BMW,which has a subsidiary company by the name of Alphabet.


BMW's Alphabet provides services to companies with vehicle fleet and operates in 18 other countries and supplies 530,000 vehicles to corporate customers.

Google has picked a name that is a popular name among the American businesses.There are currently 103 trademark registration in the United States that include the word-Alphabet or some close variation,according to database search of the US patent and Trademark office.

It was in August when Google decided a structural overhaul,which is intended to separate the company's core businesses from ventures such as the drive less cars,glucose monitoring contact lenses and internet-connected high altitude balloons.
