June 2 (Bloomberg) – Royal Dutch/Shell Group, Europe’s second-largest oil company, is waging a legal battle to gain control over the Web site name http://royaldutchshellplc.com owned by an 88-year-old British army veteran who uses it to post mostly negative information about the company, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The company wants to gain control over the name before RoyalDutch/Shell merges its two holding companies into a single entity, Royal Dutch Shell Pic, the Journal said.
