Google Being Sued By American Airlines Over Google Ads

The internet search engine Google, faces yet another lawsuit, this time from American Airlines.

American Airlines is suing Google over claims that the Google pay per click advertising company, Google Adsence is selling search words that include the trademark name of American Airlines.

This means that Google has been generating revenue by giving competitors an “unfair advantage” of American Airlines.

Google won a similar lawsuit from the insurance company Geico, who claimed Google was giving other car insurance companies and unfair advantage.

Google said in a statement:

“We are confident that our trademark policy strikes a proper balance between trademark owners’ interests and consumer choice, and that our position has been validated by decisions in previous trademark cases,”
