The company is suing Google for allowing its competitors to buy targeted ads on the search engine’s search results pages that use or are associated with the Vuitton trademark. The court charged Google with trademark counterfeiting, unfair competition and misleading advertising. Google was ordered to pay $257,430 (200,000 euros).
Google is facing similiar lawsuits in different countries. In the United States, the company recently won a favorable ruling in a similar case brought by Geico, the car insurance company.
