Feel a bit sorry for the authors of Plex Media streaming software who woke up today to discover that their SEO is now ruined, and trademarks worthless.
- judge2020 6y agoThis is in relation to banking, so I imagine searching "plex media" will still show plex.tv next year or will show up under Google Pay's 'Plex' like pandora currently does[0]. 0: https://goo.gl/search/pandora https://goo.gl/search/pandora
- SomewhatLikely 6y agoYou live by the short name, you die by the short name. Trademarks protect against consumer confusion. I'm not sure there would be much confusion here.
- novaleaf 6y agoboth are digital services both have accounts you can manage on your device Yes different services, but there is significant chance of confusion. "login with your plex account".
- JxLS-cpgbe0 6y agoA Googler already said "Plex (bank accounts)" in the comments here, I think that's going to be its unofficial name. Google Pay doesn't show up if you search for "Plex" on the Play Store! > Plex Account I already have a Plex Account. What is my Plex Account's app name? Plex or Google Pay?
- kyrra 6y agoGoogler, opinions are my own. Google Plex I think is the official name, but it looks to be tied specifically to Google Pay. The code name that WSJ talks about is "cache", so Plex is the real name. But as the app shows, you would get a "Citi Plex Account". Naming is hard.
