Trademarks are fairly narrow in what they restrict other people from using. While not a "fundamental particle", is it uncool for Intel to have processors called "Atom", so now no one else can release an "Atom" processor?
- archgoon 10y agoThank you, I shouldn't have reused the incorrect terminology here (it matters). Thanks for bringing this point up, I completely agree with you, because there is no chance of consumer confusion between these products, which is a reasonable standard to adhere to. Now, if Intel were to go after the Atom Text editor, we would agree that'd be pretty silly, no? Obviously they wouldn't, because there is no confusion. Now, if AMD were to start selling ATOMe processors, I'd also agree that Intel would have a reasonable complaint. There is no reasonable confusion (for the target markets) between this gluon project, gluonhq, and the router gluon project (linked to above).
