You did read the part about them applying for it and being denied, right? It's their fault. Period. Also you have no idea if, or how many communications this guy made to Google about this.
If this is what it seems - a big company trying to just take a trademark from a small company, then I hope Google ends up paying this guy a lot of money. Sets a good precedent.
