Initial interest confusion
• Using a trademark to confuse and “lure” a consumer to a different vendor
• Consumer buys knowingly from second vendor but not without initial deception
• Illegal in several U.S. jurisdictions• Judged on how likely consumers would be
confused by competitor’s use of trademark

GEICO v. Google
• Eastern District of Virginia, August, 2005• Nominative Use• Survey Says:
– 67.6% expected to reach GEICO via sp links– 69.5% thought that the sponsored links were
either for GEICO or affiliated with GEICO– 20.1% said that to purchase insurance from
GEICO, they should click on sponsored links.

GEICO v. Google
• The Court says– “Serious doubts about survey accuracy as to
actual users' experiences with and reactions to the Sponsored Links.”
– None of the control group was confused when Nike ads were displayed in response to a GEICO keyword.
– use of the trademark as a keyword, without more, not causing a likelihood of confusion.

GEICO v. Google
• Bottom Line:– Advertisers can use “GEICO” keyword– But cannot put “GEICO” in header or
language of advertisements– Google liable for ads with GEICO in text
or header, so must affirmatively filter

But wait a sec…
If a trademark is only used in a databaseand consumers never see it,
can it really confuse anyone?

“Use in Commerce” Test
• TM infringement requires use of TM:– “in connection with the sale, offering for
sale, distribution, or advertising of any goods or services…”
• auction of keywords = connection with sale or good or services?
• Courts split (NY = no; CA = yes)

Copyright on the Web
• Every computer/device is a copy machine• Every copy is potentially illegal
– Must either have permission or fair use– If not, may face damages of up to
$150,000 per work infringed• Search engines copy, index, and distribute
information to millions of people

Search engine strategies
(1) Implied permission/Opt-out(2) Linking, not hosting (for the most part)(3) Fair Use(4) Blind hope
![Page 73: Information ownership vs. information access on …courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i141/f07/lectures/schultz...Intellectual Property and Search Information ownership vs. information access](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060316/5f0c1d197e708231d433ce77/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Implied permission/Opt-out
• Theory– You made it publicly available– You meant us to index it– You can opt out via notification or robots.txt– Covers spidering, caching, indexing and linking
• Opt-out respected and legally required under certain circumstances (DMCA Safe Harbors)
![Page 74: Information ownership vs. information access on …courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i141/f07/lectures/schultz...Intellectual Property and Search Information ownership vs. information access](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060316/5f0c1d197e708231d433ce77/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Linking, not hosting
• Linking to copyrighted works generally not an infringement, unless– You knew the link leads directly to
infringing material; and– You kept on linkin’
• Solution:– Take links out of index upon complaint
![Page 75: Information ownership vs. information access on …courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i141/f07/lectures/schultz...Intellectual Property and Search Information ownership vs. information access](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060316/5f0c1d197e708231d433ce77/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Fair Use
• Traditionally a defense for– Personal non-commercial use
• VCR/Tivo/iPod– Educational/First Amendment activity
• Teaching• Parody/Criticism
– Transformative Uses• Creative (remixing)

Image Search

Copyright Issues in Image Search
• Capturing image• Making thumbnail• Storing thumbnail• Displaying thumbnails in response to
keyword searches• Providing Link to original picture page

Perfect 10 v. Google
• P10 sells “all natural” adult images on web• Third party sites copy and re-post images• Google spiders images from all available
sites and puts results in Google Image Search with links to original location + framing of original page
• P10 sends complaints but can’t keep up
![Page 79: Information ownership vs. information access on …courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i141/f07/lectures/schultz...Intellectual Property and Search Information ownership vs. information access](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060316/5f0c1d197e708231d433ce77/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Perfect 10 v. Google
• P10 sues Google for• making and showing thumbnails; and• Helping 3rd P sites infringe by linking to
them and “displaying” them via frames– thumbnails substitute for cell phone pix– Google can block sites and filter
![Page 80: Information ownership vs. information access on …courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i141/f07/lectures/schultz...Intellectual Property and Search Information ownership vs. information access](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060316/5f0c1d197e708231d433ce77/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Perfect 10 v. Google
• Google says:– We spider everything– We can’t tell who’s infringing until you
notify us of the specifics– It’s a fair use to make an image directory– Image search is important public resource– Go sue the bad guys, not us

Perfect 10 v. Google
• Court says:– Thumbnails are fair use
• useful search tools• Picture worth 1000 words• No evidence of use for cell phones
– Linking is not illegal b/c Google didn’t know and couldn’t control 3rd P sites

Author’s Guild v. Google

Who’s information is it?
“It's not up to Google or anyone other than the authors, the rightful owners of these copyrights, to decide whether and how their works will be copied.”
Nick Taylor, President, Author’s Guild

Who’s information is it?
“A search engine for books will be revolutionary in its benefits. Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors than copyright infringement, or even outright piracy.”
Tim O’Reilly, publisher, O’Reilly Media, Inc.

Info ownership vs. info access
• Who owns access to the words in a book?• What laws should govern this access?• What’s best for the consumer?
– Market for creativity– Market for innovation– Market for education
• What’s best for the Internet?
