>>If they allow one company to buy the rights to another's trademark,

site.<<


Are we making a leap here?  Diverting searches to a competitor website
is quite a stretch from displaying advertising on a search results page
when a search containing key words is made.  I think that diverting
searches would be illegal under current copyright and trademark laws.
However, I don't believe that displaying a competitors ad as part of the
search results window would be.  

...then again, I am not an attorney...
