Judge gives Geico Gree Light to Sue Google & Overture

If Google and Overture (which is owned by Yahoo!) are held liable in this case their margins will drop sharply because of:

• Payout to Geico.

• Others will likely soon sue them.
• Search engines will be forced to police trademark laws (which will be time consuming and expensive).
• Search engines will have less ad space they can sell.

In my opinion selling an ad next to search results is like selling an ad next to an article in newspapers. I am no judge though but hopefully they are found not guilty.
