I remember very early on where there was at least one headline that said Google was considering court action over the use of its name as a verb (copyright, trademark, etc): https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/25/589 That never made sense because being repetitively used as a common verb meant they had arrived, were mainstream at least with tech folks, and received free publicity every time it occurred.
