I posted "could have a claim for it", and because they were using the IIIR were using the Gmail name far before Google was, they could have had a claim.
Even if they didn't look for the trademark, the IIIR were using the name on their website, you can even find it with a google search.
Depsite the way it looks, I don't think they had sqating movies, seems more likely they wanted to hold onto the right to use the "Gmail" name.
