      When Using Google Adwords, My ads are getting disapproved due to Trademark issues.  The company name that I am doing PPC for is in my ad.  Please let me know how I can get past this and also, who I could potentially contact to get it solved.  Can't find anything.  Thanks

        Hope this helps.

        Straight from Google:

        <a class="zippy zippy-auth zippy-expand">Authorization policy</a>

        A trademark owner (or contact person listed on the trademark complaint) can provide Google with authorization to let specific AdWords accounts use the trademark in ad campaigns. Here are some important things to know about authorizations:

        Who needs authorization

        Any AdWords advertiser wanting to use a trademark after a complaint was filed must be authorized, including the trademark owner themselves, official affiliates and partners, regional branches, franchisees, and subsidiaries. Trademark owners can authorize advertisers (including themselves if they have an AdWords account) in their complaint form or in a separate authorization form.

        Authorization is given to individual AdWords accounts, so the trademark owner must submit the customer ID of each AdWords account they want to authorize. Any master (MCC) account numbers will automatically have authorization extended to all current and future child accounts.

        The process

        For advertisers: To request that an account be authorized, please contact the trademark owner directly and ask that they fill out the form mentioned below. Google cannot arrange the authorization for you.

        For trademark owners: Use this authorization form to request authorization for an AdWords account.

        • Only the official trademark owner or the contact person listed on the trademark complaint can authorize the use of their trademark. We are not able to accept requests from regional branches or subsidiaries of the trademark owner, unless previously designated by the trademark owner.
        • We can either prohibit all use or allow all use of a particular term by an advertiser. Therefore, we cannot accept conditional authorization requests that include a time expiration or limitations on use of the term in specific contexts.
        • The trademark owner may change or rescind authorization at any time.
