Marks & Spencer Group Plc, the U.K.’s largest clothing retailer, lost a court ruling in London over whether it used Interflora Group Ltd.’s trademarked terms to trigger flower delivery advertisements on search engines.
Judge Richard Arnold ruled today that the London-based retailer can’t use the keywords, which include Interflora and Interflora Delivery, to drive customers to its website through advertisements on Google Inc.’s search engine.
