Google Loses Second French Trademark
Lawsuit
02/05/2005 09:48 PMComing just weeks after a French court
seemed
to misunderstand the purpose of trademarks a second French court
has ruled that
Google cannot
sell ads based on trademarked keywords. This time, the case was
brought by Louis Vuitton Malletier. Here, the argument appears to
make a bit more sense on its face, as it wasn't competitors that LVM
was worried about, but counterfeiters selling products to people who
searched on the Louis Vuitton name. Except... that's wrong. Louis
Vuitton Malletier should be going after the counterfeiters, not
Google. The counterfeiters are the ones who are breaking trademark
law by advertising products that aren't actually Louis Vuitton. So,
why is Google involved at all? They're just offering the platform by
which these ads are placed and shouldn't be responsible at all for the
content of those ads. Furthermore, as long as the ads aren't
confusing buyers about the nature of the products, then there's no
reason for it to be trademark infringement. It's just in cases where
there is confusion -- and then it's the company doing the confusing
that should be taken to court.

Google Faces Another Lawsuit
Google Faces Another Lawsuit
08/18/2004 04:26 PMAnother lawsuit has been filed against Google due to the companies
AdWords keyword advertising program. So next Tuesday Google will be
heading over to a German courtroom where it will continue to defend
its technology against Metaspinner Media GmbH.
Metaspinner claims that Google's AdWords keyword advertising program
infringes on its "Preispiraten" trademark. According to
PCWorld Metaspinner already "won a preliminary injunction against
Google last November and is seeking a permanent injunction and
damages." This isn't the first time Google has been taken to
court for similar trademark infringements. Earlier this year American
Blind & Wallpaper Factory accused Google that its search engine's
keyword-based advertising violates its trademarks.
This probably isn't the last of these types of lawsuits, eEspecially
since several companies use generic words in their names - e.g.
General Motors. Because of this, Google could also be targeted for
keyword-based advertising. For Google's ad program to be ever
sucessful, they need to resolve these issues once and for all.

Google Library Used To Undercut Google
Print
Google Library Used To Undercut Google
Print
06/17/2005 03:33 PMLast month, in discussing how
publisher
s were angry at Google for its book scanning project, we noted
that Google had decided to scan some books without the publisher's
permission, citing fair use rights. It turns out the situation is a
bit more complex. What really appears to have happened is the
collis
ion of two different book scanning projects. The first, Google
Print, was where Google partnered with publishers and promised them
that the scanned books would (a) help sell more books and (b) more
importantly, allow them to get
ad revenue associated with
contextual ads alongside any pages that people viewed. However, soon
afterwards, Google tied this project with their Google Library
project, where they were partnering with libraries to scan all of
their books. In those cases, there was no revenue sharing argument.
The benefit for the libraries is that Google pays the expense of
digitizing their entire collection, which the library then gets to
use. Of course, there's a potential conflict here, as Google can scan
a library book, even though the publisher of the book refused to take
part in Google Print -- or, even if they agreed to take part, but now
they won't get the revenue share from the ads. In some sense, again,
it comes down to a question of "ownership." The publishers view
ownership from the intellectual property point of view, saying that
they own the words, and no one can do anything with them without
permission. The libraries, on the other hand, are viewing ownership
in the more tangible sense, along with the right of first sale --
saying that, if they own the physical books, they should have the
rights to do what they want with them. It's a fine line, of course,
but given the way the courts have been acting lately, it would seem
likely that they would side with the publishers -- and claim that the
libraries were violating the publishers' rights in digitizing the
books in the first place.
