Here's a series of US trademark APPLICATIONS that came to Google by way the acquisition of dMarc, a radio advertising company that Google acquired in early 2006.
+ Sarbanes Oxley
dMarc applied for a trademark/service mark for this term in September, 2005. It reads like dmarc/Google wanted to offer some sort of compliance software to make dealing the the S-O legislation easier. The application was abandoned on September 30, 2006 and is now "dead." Perhaps a service that Google was not interested in offering.
Other apps that are still in process.
+ Smart Barter
This application was filed in September, 2005.
advertising resale service, namely buying advertising space from radio stations in return for monetary credit that radio stations can use to purchase various goods and services.
NOTE: Google MUST make use of these words and services as they are applied for. They will need to for the advert and resale of radio stations. They cannot, as applied, use smart barter for something like search engine ad bartering.
+ Diagnostics
Google applied for a trademark/service mark for this term in September, 2005.
Software which provides real-time monitoring and automated troubleshooting for digital broadcasting systems.
+ Data Services

Other dMarc/Google service mark apps include:

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
