How to submit a Trademark Exclusion in Adwords
Google AdWords has a trademark complaint procedure in place to help trademark owners monitor the use of their trademarked terms by AdWords advertisers.
Towards the end of the trademark complaint form, you'll see a section where you can list the “Authorised Entities” you've approved to use your trademarked term(s).
Fill in this section and the Trademark team will note these entities during the ad review process. If you do not specifically list authorized users (by either their AdWords Customer ID or their AdWords contact email address), authorised entities may be disapproved for using your trademark term(s).
