Google Loses AdWords Case

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-news-bears dept.

TheChillPill writes "Google has lost a case brought by a company whose name was being used by Adwords users. Insurance firm GEICO, who had not been using Adwords themselves, objected to Google allowing it's advertisers to use the term in their campaigns." This is a reversal for Google based on an earlier story.

    This really saddens me. But it's okay because I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance

    Its understandable seeing as how Geico was losing 15% of its profits.
