Washington–The case filed by GEICO against Google on May 4, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of both parties. According to an announcement from the parties, the terms of the settlement are confidential. No further comment on the settlement will be provided.
Last month, GEICO announced that a federal judge ruled that Google, under certain circumstances, was violating U.S. trademark law by letting advertisers attach their ads onto Web searches for the Washington-based insurer.
The ruling came from Judge Leonie Brinkema at U.S. District Court for Virginia's Eastern District in Alexandria. Google late last year had lost a motion for summary judgment.
