Tech giant Google seems to be in the spotlight right now after a new ruling by the Delhi High Court has questioned its Ads Program.
The ruling has obliged the tech giant to rethink its strategy and go on excluding ads that go against trademark rights. Moreover, the key issue seems to be linked to the firm’s usual behavior related to putting out recommendations about products that belong to competitors as top keywords.
Furthermore, such a verdict from a leading judicial institution in the nation puts emphasis on the company’s mighty role linked to the advertising industry and how it might result in some shocking impacts for those running ad operating businesses in the country.
Remember, the digital world of today has advertising centered at the forefront, and it's designed to help businesses earn more revenue. But in the strive to attain great online fame and engagement, most people see themselves fighting against an integral balance of ad strategies and rights pertaining to intellectual property. However, the way things take place in India, the balance is often lost.
It would not be wrong to mention how such a verdict is shaking people in the advertising world through such means as Google’s Ads program. It’s being put in the domain of a Trademarks Law where Google is requested to let go of ads that are against its trademark rights.
The event was clearly a huge complaint coming through DRS which is the nation’s top logistics firm. They held strongly to the fact that searches were the leading trademark through which users were seeing competitor ads and that put out suggestions about Google pushing more users to other competing websites.
The issue of concern was linked to the search engine giant using keywords to promote this behavior and it could have double effects. For starters, it would enhance the firm’s sale profits linked to keywords while in other situations, it would uncomplicate issues for companies.
As mentioned by TechCrunch today, the brainchild behind Zerodha showed how firms were focused on advertising to such a significant extent that they’re marketing against keywords that they own. And if they don’t they’re at risk of getting overshadowed by others in the search industry.
The new verdict from the high court in India is setting out a challenge for Google against the act of its competitors purchasing ads that makes use of another’s trademarked words.
It’s like you put out a search for PlayStation 5 and get ads for Nintendo Switch. This kind of situation forces trademark holders to give funds to Google so as to achieve the top spot in terms of search visibility.
Google tried to fight the case and claim it was nothing more than an intermediate player. But that did not win the court over. They claim that Google had a leading role in terms of being influential and had great command across the whole advertising business. And that had profound effects on those running ads in the country.
In case you did not know by now, the whole tech sector isn’t unfamiliar with the likes of issues relating to intellectual property. Therefore, this is why Google is being told to rethink its actions.
