Rosetta Stone Sues Google For Trademark Violation

adeelarshad82 writes that earlier this week "Rosetta Stone, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Google Inc in a US federal court, alleging trademark infringement. In the lawsuit, the company alleged that Google is allowing third parties, including individuals involved in software piracy, to purchase the right to use its trademarks — or other 'confusingly similar' terms — in Google's Adwords advertising program."

Re:somewhat ironic choice however

perhaps you should read the article. There is nothing ironic about it. Rosetta want to stop pirates, scams and impersonators from using searches for their product to be targetted with those adverts, it is not good for them or for the users. Google makes it easy for scammers, Rosetta if anything here are doing you a public service. They are not trying to prevent others using the name Rosetta.
