Court gets one right! (Trademarks and Google)

Wow. Court Rules Google’s Use of Trademarks As Keywords Is Non-Infringing:

A federal judge in New York has just ruled that Google’s practice of selling trademarks as keywords that trigger links to particular Web sites other than those of the trademark holders does not constitute infringement because Google does not actually “use” the trademarks within the meaning of the law.

Now, if only some court will throw out Apple’s disgraceful attempt to own the word “pod”.
