Words that describe a product or service such that a person who puts those words into a search engine, may find sites that meet the desired criteria. WHAT IS KEYWORD INFRINGEMENT? For example, one frequently infringed Internet keyword is "PLAYBOY" (another is "PLAYMATE"). Hugh Hefner's legacy was to build up the value of these words in their trademark sense; that is to say, that the public can distinguish Mr. Hefner's goods and services from other traders; and now as a result, Internet search engines can find his company sites by using the protected Keyword "PLAYBOY." Keyword infringement often occurs when another adult site with no affiliation to Mr. Hefner's company submits the keyword PLAYBOY and/or PLAYMATE to a search engine as a suggested word that describes its own, unrelated goods and services. WHAT ARE META TAGS? "Meta Tags" are HTML code that often invisibly performs the same function as a keyword, but in a more "behind the scenes" way. Meta Tags are secret code words that are embedded on an Internet web site which are also meant to be descriptive of the site's contents. For example, the words "brand names, trademarks, copyrights, trademark lawyers, and domain names" are among the "meta tags" embedded on this page. The meta tags are designed to help many of the search engines to classify and rank web pages according to how likely the useful results might occur on a given site. Though it is a widespread practice, when a web pirate uses another person's trademark in their meta tags without permission, such act will most likely be an illegal infringement of the rights of the trademark holder. The good news, is that META TAG piracy, like cybersquatting and hyperlinking, can be ferreted out and need not be tolerated. As part of a global solution for the New Millennium, A&A can eliminate Keyword and Meta Tag infringement, unwarranted hyperlinking and domain hijacking.
