Legal Question in Business Law in California

I'd think so, at least based on your example. The company's name is Google, not googled. Making a verb out of this (or similarly famous company names) is unlikely to be covered by the trademark laws, and the company itself is unlikely to object. Nevertheless, trademark infringement defense is expensive, and I'd recommend taking your actual proposed text to a trademark attorney before cranking up the presses.

Definitely check with a trademark attorney. Google may have trademarked "googled" or may be actively avoiding mark dilution by challenging the commercial use of the verb form of its mark. Only a review of the PTO records by a trademark attorney would reveal the status of Google's view on this, and if they are defending against commercial use of "googled" you could be in for an expensive fight.

As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. Google has not trademarked Googled, at least yet, per the records on the USPTO website. That doesn't mean they will come after you and the fight will not be cheap. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
