Google Selling Snow Cones?

Posted on July 17, 2009 in Search Engine News

This logo on a food stand caught me off guard on my recent travels through Mumbai. Seems pretty funny considering the fact that Google recently allowed a bidding free-for-all on branded keywords.

With Google expanding its influence in Asia, it is going to have to deal with an array of trademark issues like these.

These entrepreneurs, located in a popular new shopping mall, were creative enough to include the TM on the sign, and also post a menu that resembles a Google SERP.

What are you doing to protect your business trademarks and logos?
