I think the point about AA is that it was in general use in language before there were Airlines. Kik is different. I have never used Kik, but I was aware of it in 2016. When I read the article I immediately thought of the messenger. It also does not have any other common English use to my knowledge.
Trademarks are only valid in the domain you operate in. If you had a football school called kik there is no infringement, but there is an Internet company called kik hence this infringes.
- DocTomoe 5y agoAccording to [1], Koçulu's kik "a new module that would kick-start the set up of new projects, and he named this module “kik.”" Also, Stratton seemed to try and prevent the use of a "kik-starter" as well. That doesn't sound too much like the package to deal with social media to me. Arguing that they are in the same domain because of both of them being internet-related seems like American Airlines trying to sue Alcoholics Anonymous for an AA trademark violation, for both pilots and recovering alcoholics sometimes use roads.
