Xoom Corp., which operates a money-transfer business, claiming that their registered the xoom.com domain name in year 2003, and they have been registered the Xoom trademark on December 14, 2004, stated in the lawsuit. Motorola then has filed an "intent-to-use" application of its own on last year 26th of October.

The Xoom Corp. has also accused Motorola in purchasing the "Xoom" keyword in search engines, so when you search for the word "Xoom" on Google.com, the official page of Motorola Xoom will put it on the top of the results. I actually tried to search for the "Xoom" into Google.com, it shows that Motorola Xoom is in the sponsored links section at the top of organic search engine results, and Xoom.com remains at the first organic search results.
