Why This Happens
A trademark owner has filed a complaint about the use of their trademarked terms in your ad text, display URLs, or extensions. Google's trademark policy restricts using other companies' trademarks in ad copy unless you qualify for an exception as an authorized reseller, informational site, or compatible product vendor.
Example Notification
"Your ads have been disapproved because they use a trademarked term that the trademark owner has restricted for use in ad text."
Compliance Steps
Identify which ads and which trademark terms are affected
Remove trademarked terms from ad headlines, descriptions, and display URLs
If you are an authorized reseller, apply for trademark authorization through Google
Note: Bidding on trademarked keywords is generally allowed — the restriction is on ad text
Resubmit ads for review after making corrections
