Software Company Sues Google for Trademark Infringement
Rosetta Stone, maker of the popular foreign language software, filed a federal trademark suit against Google in Virginia Friday, alleging that one of the Web giant's major advertising programs allows companies to confuse consumers. Rosetta Stone's suit accuses Google of allowing companies a "free ride" on its brand and of "hijacking" consumers by confusing them into clicking on the wrong sites. Google has been hit with a string of similar lawsuits over its AdWords program.
