AXA sues Google over AdWords
Da Fokka writes "Insurance company AXA is suing Google in a french court because a search for 'AXA' results in links to their competitors. A similar claim was initially awarded but successfully appealed by Google. If this claim is successful, this could be quite a setback for Google's business model."
I think the lawyers responsible for such litigation should be required by the judge to supply (for free to the public) a list of every trademarked word... and keep it updated in perpetuity, oh.. and have their fingernails pulled off for being such a pest.
meh
"Freedom" court. Please use the language that our lofty senators appointed for us.
axa is found in Ebonics dictionaries. Using it in context - "lemme axa question, dawg."
"Search engine company Google is suing themselves"
"If you Google on 'A9', you get a listing for one of our competitors," said a company spokesperson. "It's an outrage!"
Give them a break, clearly they only have the resources for one high-profile frivolous lawsuit at a time.
You can't spell for shit man. Its lose not loose.
Loosing, to set free.
Losing, the opposite of winning.
Loser.
> Its lose not loose.
It's.
You loose (sic).
Lawyers don't sue people.
People sue people.
For litigious bastards, displacing the previous litigious bastards who will henceforth be known simply as bastards.
Looks like Google dropped the ads in American Samoa.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
::Sigh:: This is why it should be legal to own a real BFG.
Yeah, but if everyone here spoke plainly, they wouldn't be able to use the Chewbacca defense to save themselves later.
Perhaps this will help:
"If your use of lose and loose is loose you lose."
We surrender! We drop all our lawsuits, please relist us!
Is it possible that we've slashdotted the ad inventory for these AXA competitors thus effectively removing their ads from Google?
