So far, courts in the US have frowned upon those who misuse
tradenames in this manner. If you want a quicker solution, notify the
offender that if they don't immediately remove your name, you'll get
in touch with the search engines and report them for misleading spam.
I suspect you'll find the tags will get quickly changed.
