Because simple similarity doesn’t usually result in a lawsuit? Especially if one of the words isn’t a public product name and also happens to be an existing word with no existing specific use in the industry.
- Retric 1mo agoFailing to defend trademarks for such similarity named and closely related products has extremely high risks.
- eschaton 1mo ago“Xenon” is a pre-existing word. Intel’s not going to lose protection on “Xeon” for IBM using “Xenon” as an internal codename for their own CPU.
- Retric 1mo agoPre-existing word like “Word” “Excel” “Apple” etc. We know about “Xenon” because they used the internal name outside the company. There’s zero difference between an unofficial and official branding when you’re using it in press releases.
