• Hi Chris,
  
  From what I can see, all of the stuff happened before Google's TM-policy change for the US which was supposed to take place on the 15th of June.
  
  Taking a look at the last paragraph of Google's statement (https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=145626) I wonder if things might have changed for your case as Google now allows:
  
  Informational sites: The primary purpose of the advertiser?s site must be to provide non-competitive and informative details about the goods or services corresponding to the trademark term. Additionally, the advertiser may not sell or facilitate the sale of the goods or services of a competitor of the trademark owner.
  
  The question is if ... the information you want to communicate can be seen as "informative details about the goods or services corresponding to the trademark term". Still, one might give it a try, right?
  
  Summing up a sentence from the German Supreme Court, "something that can't be found on the internet with the help of search engines, actually does not exist". So, in case the media doesn't want to report about the issue and you don't have the capacities to create a website whose Page-Rank is as good as AT&Ts, what other options, beside booking the term as a keyword are left?
  
  Kind regards,
