Cool Keywords question

Hi Everyone,

I wonder whether it is legal to use someone else's brand/company name as keyword.

I'm working on a project for a charity organization and I've been asked if they can use an
other organization's name as a keyword in their tags and for paid listings.

Is this possible? legal? acceptable behaviour?

thank you for your help.
Alessandra

this is something still in dispute. The answer is probably "No" in near future.

If you are selling BrandX products then I can't imagine what problem they would have with you using BrandX as a keyword - as long as you are using it to promote their products.

interesting question. What is Google's official stance on this?
