A few months ago I've submitted my first chrome extension to the chrome webstore. It wasn't an immediate success like I might have wished it to be, but it was a "scratch" your own problem kind of product and I was satisfied. I acquired some users, some were active some were not and I kept adding features that I felt were lacking. It was a side project I enjoyed immensely.
Then around a month ago I started my long and unresolved dispute with the chrome webstore team. As it would seem, another developer has registered a trademark for the same name I was using for my product. Notice that when I submitted my add-on this trademark wasn't yet registered. Without any notice my add-on was removed from the chrome webstore. Even after I removed all references to the old product name, any visuals or textual content that might somehow be affiliated with the previous name were also removed. I kept submitting my add-on for approval, but every time my "review process" was denied without a single reason. Sometimes I received a general automatic email that directed me to the chrome extension developer policy and sometimes I didn't receive any email at all. All attempts to contact anyone at the team went unanswered.
Although this is a rant, if any of you had encountered this kind of treatment before I'd love to hear what you did about it.
