    This link says I cant bid on trademarked keywords in Adwords. What are the opinions?

    I am trying to bid on some terms which may _possibly_ be trademarked, but I dont have a way to know whether they are trademarked or not. If I search nothing comes up conclusively whether a term is trademarked/copyrighted and cant be used for adwords etc. Note that my terms contain the possibly trademarked keyword, but my ad text will not (I know Adwords doesnt allow "Sony" to be in ad text for example)

    Depending on which country you live in, you can bid on the terms as keywords, but just not use them in your ad copy
