We are getting an error that says...

AdCopy wasn't added to the 'Clarinet Reeds' adgroup. SOAP Exception Message: 122 One or more input elements failed validation. 0 headline 17 5 Reeds 121 true Due to trademark reasons, we do not allow advertisers to use 'Reeds' in their Google AdWords ads. This term may be trademarked either for a certain product or service category and may apply only in certain countries.

The problem here is that the word Reeds is a plural version of the common word reed. How can you hold a copyright rule to a common word. How can I seel clarinet reeds if reeds is copyrighted?? Clarinet stick like things that make noise?

Merriam-webster has the word reed defined as a common word.
