Google Applies for New Trademark, Related to New Domain: Indexbench

A few weeks ago we noticed that Google applied for several new domains including:

+ bench-index.com (and .org, .info)

+ benchindex.com (and .org, .info)

+ Index-bench.com (and .org, .info)

+ indexbench.com (and .org, .info, .net)

Today, we learned that at the same time Google also applied for a trademark (a service mark to be specific) for the term Indexbench.

Those of you who like primary documents might want to look

It's really old but recently discussed here:

I wrote something about that a couple of weeks ago (googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006 ...). I think Google wants more quality raters (testers). For free.
