| Advertisers
sometimes bid on search terms that are the trademarks of others.
For bids on search terms in swatantrachetna.com's Precision
Match service, swatantrachetna.com requires advertisers to
agree that their search terms, their listing titles and descriptions,
and the content of their Web sites do not violate the trademark
rights of others. In cases in which an advertiser has bid
on a term that may be the trademark of another, swatantrachetna.com
allows the bids only if the advertiser presents content on
its Web site that:
(a) refers to the trademark or its owner or related product
in a permissible nominative manner without creating a likelihood
of consumer confusion (for example, comparative advertising,
sale of a product bearing the trademark, or commentary, criticism
or other permissible information about the trademark owner
or its product) or
(b) uses the term in a generic or merely descriptive manner.
In addition, the advertiser's listing should disclose the
nature of the relevant content.
If
you have a concern that a search term associated with an advertiser's
listing is an improper use of a term that is a trademark,
swatantrachetna.com will review the advertiser's listing for
compliance with our relevancy guidelines and, if appropriate,
swatantrachetna.com will remove the advertiser's listing or
the content of the listing's title or description will be
modified. In order to assist swatantrachetna.com in expeditiously
addressing your concern, please provide the following information:
-
The search term which, when entered, caused the
advertiser's listing to appear.
-
The trademark on which your claim is based.
-
If you own a current registration for the trademark
on the Principal Register in the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, the registration number.
-
If you have evidence of any consumer confusion
