The GIGA trademark is indeed owned by an Institute concerned with Global Internet Governance & Advocacy under the direction of our friend Dr. V.C. Vivekanandan at NALSAR, the University of Law in Hyderabad.

Vivek served a term on the ALAC in about 2010.

JJS, Hong Xue and I were honoured by GIGA's invitation to participate in their annual conference in 2012.....I think.

the term GIGA is already in use in a different Internet context: the Institute of Global Internet Governance and Advocacy (GIGA)

I suspect a sub-editor googled (or whatever they do in China) and this was the closest thing they found to what was reported so they went with it.

Done similar myself before now!
