In terms of search results and images Google will remove links to any infringing content if you file a DMCA request with them - it isn't however their responsibility to find copyright infringers for other companies for content they are not affiliated with. It's like stating that the Yellow Pages should check that every company in its book does not have a product that infringes another companies patent.
