AN INDIAN company has sued Google over what it claims is trademark infringement as it accused the search engine giant of using it's trademark to to divert business to the competitors.

Consim Info, which runs a number a portal including the popular BharatMatrimony.com has stated that when a user searched for Bharatmatrimony on Google, the search engine dishes up advertisements of the competitors.

The company has objected to the Consim trademark being used for bidding as it meant a loss of business. It also said that trademarks are also shown by Google in links from competitors and as such demanded that advertisements of competitors are not shown when words similar to its trademarks are searched.

A case has been filed by the company in the Madras High Court in Chennai, which granted an interim injunction to Consim last week, claimed the company. While not denying that Bharatmatrimony might also be benefiting, when users searched for the competitors, Consim said it wants this practice to be stopped.
