Isn't Playdoh a Hasbro trademark?
- JoshTriplett 13y agoTrademarks are domain-specific; a trademark covering a toy doesn't directly affect computer software. On the other hand, Hasbro did make Play-Doh computer games, so there might be precedent for a trademark in that field too. In any case, it's probably not a good idea for a name, legal or not; if nothing else, it'll be that much harder to search for.

- ics 13y agoYou might have avoided the downvotes by posting a source. While the parent's comment is correct (re: domains of trademarks) it's true that Monster has been a bit of a bully[1] and not unsuccessfully either.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Cable_Products#Trademark_and_patent_protection_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Cable_Products#Tradema...
