Given the umpteen categories they have this application applying to, what would their purpose for doing this be? To register "FACE" and "BOOK" together?

  They already own the trademark for "FACE" [0] in the context of "Operating of chat rooms, none primarily featuring or relating to motoring or to cars". [0]: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/003852779 https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/00385277...

    The cars exception is odd. Is there already a similar brand that's associated with cars?

      They apparently had opposition from the organization "RACE": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1935566 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1935566

        I think I've heard the phrase "idiot in a hurry", so, yes, they could be confused.

        I suppose I'm not a reasonable person, then. I was under the impression FaceTime was a Facebook product, or at least bought from them.
