Bestbuy is full of equipment with Blender in name. How they do it?
- cbartlett 2y agoBecause trademarks are categorised
- isaacimagine 2y agoTrademark does not apply for unrelated goods. See: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search/likelihood-confusion https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search/likelihood-confusion

- archerx 2y agoThey are not related to software or computer graphics.
- griomnib 2y agoThey aren’t software, Blender foundation likely has exclusive use in that domain. I’m guessing if it was litigated it would come up, but that they’d prevail.
- SubiculumCode 2y agoAnd this is not even just about software in a general sense, it's literally software that creates the same product: 3d models. Absolutely asking for trouble.

- account42 2y agoIt's not just asking for troubly, it's malicious. Intentionally confusing people is not cool.
- ben_w 2y agoSame way Tesco gets to be full of apples without a licence from the record company or the phone company with an attached computer division.
- staticman2 2y agoThe fact that the trademark doesn't merely describe the product is what allows for protection. That's why Apple can be trademarked for a computer product but not for a fruit, as the latter would be merely a description of the product.
