I previously has wrote about the overseas expansion of Baidu in a post that entitled, “Baidu Japan Launched” in February this year. The launched of Baidu’s search engine is comprised of Baidu branding power, deep search engine expertise, a great team with the expansion dream and a commitment of serving the Japan’s users well. Now the search services is available for first-phase testing and they are initially offering web and image search restricted to Japanese market, as shown in the above picture.

The current domain name Baidu registered in Japan is Baidu.jp, a second-tier Japanese domain name. Baidu has problems with the domain, i.e. Baidu.co.jp in Japan market. Now this Baidu.co.jp is owned by a company that called “CBC株式会社” in Japan (below picture). Recent buzz in the market was Baidu has tried ways to get back this particular domain name and claimed that they hold rights on the Baidu name in whatsoever country.
