Amazon registers domain with Google trademark: AmazonAdwords.com

[Arpit131]

Amazon Technologies registered two new domain names according to whois records that caught my attention on January 27, 2016

• AdvertisingAmazon.com
• AmazonAdwords.com

The first registration matches the sub-domain name used by Amazon for its AAP advertising program they offer. The second domain name registration is a No No IMO!

Amazon is fine, adwords is not.

Adwords is a registered trademark of Google Inc. and since AAP competes against Google Adwords by offering online advertising, I would think that Google would not be happy with this domain name registration.

Could this point to some joint venture between the two companies?
