Your situation with AdWords is common for trademarked products.  

 

We had a similar situation when we started selling the Nokia VoIP enabled 
phones.  Once Nokia sent an approval to Google, our ads with their trademark 
were approved.

 

Contact your Digium channel manager and ask them to send an approval to Google.

 

The AdWords trademark issue actually resulted in a court case between GEICO 
Insurance and Google.

Subject: [asterisk-biz] Digium enforcing its trademarks

 

I have received today a notice of disaproval of my ad in Google Adwords, 
because it was using the word Asterisk (A Digium“s trademark). Interesting, 
this announce point to our eCommerce website www.shopvoip.com.br where we 
actually sell Digium Interface Cards (we had sold more than 200 E1 interfaces 
in the last two years). I could check that other sites are using the word 
Asterisk in their advertisments. Anyone with the same problem?

 

Regards,
