The adwords/trademark issue on Google has seen its day in court.
Kind of interesting:

Speaking of Google..
I had the unfortunate fortune of working on an ad campaign recently.
It brought to the fore many questions.. some of them were about this.
If I put an adword on "symantec", don't I breach their trademark, or
Google does?
I doubt anyone would sue Google to find out, or be in courts for so
long it won't matter any longer.
Annoying, but works both ways.
