by Seth Semilof

Montblanc, a German manufacturer of watches, writing instruments and other accessories is going to meet Google in court over the identity of counterfeiters that have been using the AdWords program.

The UK arm was unable to identify the offending advertisers, stating they don’t have the information and told Montblanc to take the case up with Google US.
