edit: Can someone please explain why this is being downvoted? I'd like to make sure my contributions are constructive.
- ajju 14y agoDoes that mean all shapes are off limits now?
- rpedroso 14y agoNo. Square and Cube offer very similar products. If I started a fruit distribution company and called it Rhombus, there probably wouldn't be an issue. I can't say whether there is definitive trademark infringement here (Cube seems to offer analytics services and targets a niche market, differentiating its product). However, I can't help but feel that "Cube" is a reference to Square.
- pc86 14y agoI think trademark infringement is definitely too strong. That being said, I think it's a stupid name. "Oh look we're going to be marginally competitive to Square, we're going to offer more than Square.. CUBE!" No. It's an unoriginal, hackish name, but at the end of the day it looks like it could be a decent product.
- taligent 14y agoI don't know why you were downvoted. It is a very legitimate point as there have been examples of similar sounding names in the same industry counting as trademark infringement.
