According to TechCrunch.com,  The Laptop Company, the owner of  website bongobing.com, received an extension until October 28, 2009, to oppose Microsoft’s attempt to trademark Bing, with the USPTO.

The CEO and co-founder Raul Pellerano of bongobing.com is quoted by TechCruch, as saying:

“We have worked hard and invested significant resources in building our BongoBing (TM) brand and identity, our website and services, and our corporate identity. We believe it is important for a small company like The Laptop Company to continue to use its trademarks and conduct business without confusion in the marketplace.”

Of course, there should be no way the owner of this domain should be able to stop Microsoft from getting a trademark on Bing, but since the extension of time to object has already been applied for and granted, someone may think the claim has some degree of merit.

Just to note, I have not heard of an objection filed,  by the most famous establishment previously using “Bing” in its name, which would be The Bada Bing.
