ACS Sues Google Over "Scholar" Trademark

Because when we think about scholarship and online research, we think about the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Or maybe not.

Story here.

Not.

As Jon Stewart would say... Please stop. Can't we just get along. Ugh.

Ad Trademark Questions


Should Google Have Anything To Do With
Ad Trademark Questions
05/04/2004 03:09 PM
Google keeps running into lawsuits concerning companies who buy advertisements based on the names or trademarks of their competitors. We've already explained why should be perfectly legal under trademark law (which doesn't prevent all use of a trademarked term - just any use that is seen to be confusing people into believing one company is another company). However, this NewMediaZero piece points out that, even if it is a trademark violation, it makes no sense to go after Google, who is simply the publisher. If they must go after someone, the complaining companies should go after those who they are accusing of misusing their trademarks: the competitors buying the ads. Of course, what this article leaves out is that the complaining companies are upset that Google appears to be profiting off of their trademark by selling the ads. I wonder what would happen if Google set up a "compromise" position where a portion of the money that an advertiser paid for advertising on a trademarked keyword went to the trademark owner?

Google Loses Second French Trademark
Lawsuit


Google Loses Second French Trademark
Lawsuit
02/05/2005 09:48 PM
Coming 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.
