Google Dismisses Some Claims in Jurin v. Google and Gets Some Attorneys’ Fees
4 03 2010By Eric Goldman
Jurin v. Google, Inc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 18208 (E.D. Cal. March 1, 2010)
Jurin v. Google is one of the 10 outstanding trademark-based claims against Google’s AdWords programs–in this case, over advertiser purchases of Jurin’s trademark “styrotrim.” This particular lawsuit took a sizable hit, as Google successfully got a quick dismissal of several claims. As an added perk, the judge awarded Google $6k in legal fees for harassing litigation behavior.
The court dismisses Jurin’s Lanham Act false designation of origin claim because Google never represents that it produces Styrotrim.
