After years of dispute, Google sells the domain 'duck.com' to DuckDuckGo
It can be quite frustrating that your main competitor has a domain that interests you. That's what happened to DuckDuckGo, who spent several years trying to get 'duck.com' from Google. It all started in 2010, when the Mountain View company acquired On2 Technologies (a company formerly known as The Duck Corporation).
