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.

    I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico!

    (sorry, couldn't resist. That Speed Racer spot really made me crack up.)

    Man, that's so annoying. That apostrophe rule is simple, to say nothing about the 'm' instead of 'b' problem. Why don't these submitters spend an extra minute proofreading their posts?
