Think About It This Way
I'm not completely sure if this is the correct analogy to use:

Example: You own NextGen company. You make video games that are popular. Rockstar purchases Google Ad space, and for the keywords they use: rockstar, grand theft auto, nextgen.

Technically, they could be taking your customers everytime they search for your products, or other stuff related to your company, when they search Google.

I don't know what to make of this situation either. I don't know if they are violating anything at all. Logically, if you had your own ads in Google, they would show up right along theirs. But if their ads were displayed before yours, there I believe would be a problem.
