What does anyone think of the name "Goggles"? I wonder if they would have named it this if Google didn't exist. Seems like a genius name to me, under the circumstances!
- jkuria 4y agoAlso a ripe opportunity for Google's lawyers to go after them as it creates confusion in the marketplace. Or maybe a marketing opportunity for them, if they play the David vs. Goliath card, should Google come after them.
- donmcronald 4y agoPlus, if Google gets in their face about it they can rename it to "Shades - Better than Goggles".
- robonerd 4y agoI think they're trying to bait Google into a legal fight that would immediately turn into a PR war. Very.. brave.. of them.
- xbar 4y agoCan you hear the Google PR team whispering to Legal? "...don't touch it...."
- smsm42 4y agoProbably not the best idea, given how similar it to "Google", but I assume all better alternatives were trademarked away or something. Then again, if Google would be stupid enough to declare they own the word "goggles", it may generate a lot of PR for the project that they would never get otherwise. So may end up a win.
- throwaway81523 4y agoIt makes me think of the movie "They Live", which predates Google.
- Brendinooo 4y agoVery cheeky.
- rustoo 4y agoexactly.. Even while reading, I tend to read it as Googles! :D The Brave team is indeed brave.
