Skype Acccused of Google Adwords 'Heavy-Handedness'

John E. Dunn writes on TechWorld:

Skype has been accused of heavy-handedness after it succeeded in stopping third-parties from using the word “Skype” in Google adword advertising.

One such company – German outfit iPoque – sells a network device to monitor for and block Skype on corporate networks. A fortnight ago, after it started running a campaign using Google keywords such as “block Skype” and “Skype filter”, it received an e-mail from Google's operation in Germany stating that Skype had asserted its right to block these phrases.
