I don't think you can use a trademark in ad text. But companies still try to wiggle around this.

But you can use a trademark as an ad targeting term... which feels a little trademark-violation-y to me.

Looks like several companies have tried to sue Google for this, but Google threw a lot of money at the problems to prevent them from winning.

Trademark litigation can be expensive, but you can't win every trademark case just by throwing more money at the problem. If there was a legitimate IP violation then someone would have won a case against Google by now.
