Google Wins Trademark-Trigger Lawsuit

The decision [claranet.scu.edu] happened a few weeks ago but I do not know if it was reported at WW. Seems like a pretty strong opinion on permitting the purchase of other's trademarks in order to trigger ads. Although as discussed, this issue is far from over.

I don't know anything about the Lanham Act but selling a trademark as a keyword and even suggesting it in the keyword suggestion tool sounds to me as though Google are using the trademark in the everyday sense of the word "use".

I wonder what constitutes "use" as far as this Lanaham Act is concerned?
