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.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent
07/08/2004 05:05 PMI think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid
patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is
that Adobe, who is no stranger to
abusing
intellectual property rules, is now being hit
with a patent over their
PDF technology. The patent is for
a method of extracting network
information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're
basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and
having the system not only download the page in question, but all
locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful
system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well
before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with
PDF files.

Lawsuit
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.

Intermec Sees Symbol's Revenge Patent
Lawsuit, And Piles On Another For Spite
03/25/2005 06:57 AMAnd people thought the idea the idea that companies were getting
patents for the
sake
of nuclear stockpiling was silly? Well, it appears that nuclear
war is now breaking out between Symbol and Intermec. Last year,
Intermec started the fun by suing a bunch of companies, including
Symbol, for supposedly
violating
some RFID patents. Two weeks ago, Symbol thought it was only fair
to
sue
Intermec over its own WiFi patents. Because no fired shot can go
unanswered, the good lawyers at Intermec have now come up with
more RFID patents they can sue Symbol over. Or maybe
they're the same ones and they're suing again. Honestly, it doesn't
matter. All that's really happening here is that the two sides are
wasting a ridiculous amount of money on lawyers and lawsuits -- when
that money should be going towards new product development and getting
products to market. At some point, the two sides will settle and
there will be some press release about cross licensing patents and no
one will be happy, except for some of the lawyers involved. All of
this "innovating" (that's what patents are for, right?) is going to
kill us all -- or, at least make a lot of this technology much more
expensive.
