I doubt it. Canadian chain restaurant 'Boston Pizza' can't prevent you using the word 'pizza', though it's directly concerned with their business.
General Dynamics predates Boston Dynamics by decades.
('General Dynamics' is a wonderful company name. Imagine if you'd heard it for the first time today. Cool name.)
- bigiain 5y agoAnd I have a set of Boston Acoustics speakers sitting on my desk here that are almost certainly older than the Boston Dynamics trademark. Hmmm, just looked it up: "Boston Dynamics is an American engineering and robotics design company founded in 1992" Boston Acoustics was founded in 1979. Th A40s on my desk came out in 1986, bu6t I'm not sure how old this specific pair are, I bought them 2nd hand. I have a pair of their bigger brothers, the A60s downstairs that I bought new in 1988...
