AdSense for Domains Trademark Complaint Procedure

by Mark on July 15th, 2007

I’ll assume I’m reaching those who may own a reasonable number of domain names that are parked. And the question is “Are you making the most of those parked domains?” Or, are you embroiled in a disagreement about trademarks? Well, Google won’t, isn’t able to, put an end to whatever disagreements you may be having but they will act somewhat in your behalf. You may want to pay strict attention to #’s 5 and 6.

Through its AdSense for Domains program, Google provides domain name registrars and other holders of large numbers of inactive domain names with an opportunity to display ads and links on the parked web pages. Please note that Google is not in any way involved with the selection or registration of these domain names, and is not in a position to arbitrate trademark disputes between the registrants, our partners, and trademark owners. Accordingly, we encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the registrants or registrars.

As a courtesy to trademark owners, however, we are willing to perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints. If you are a trademark owner and you object to the Sponsored Links appearing on a web site served by AdSense for Domains, please send the following information via email to :

1. Name of Company
2. Contact information (including email address)
3. List of trademark(s) at issue and the country/countries in which it is registered. If the trademark is registered, provide the country and registration number.
4. The identity of the parked domain(s) at issue.
5. Include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the trademarks described above with the advertisements described above are not authorized by the trademark owner or its agent, nor is such use otherwise permissible under law.”
6. Include the following statement: “I represent that the information in this notification is true and correct and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner.”
7. Your signature.
