Well, this is not a big problem for me. But I think it is illegal
according to the 'Editorial & Format Policies' from Google:

What they are doing is not the tipical keywords registration you do to
target your ads when people search after those keywords. They are using
in their ads a trademark they do not own to promote their product.
