Can both not exist? I don't see how there could be overlap or confusion from potential customers.

"I always use Paper on my ipad for all my pictures, you should check it out" Which app would you download from the appstore ?

  It just seems a bit melodramatic. Should Google Mail have been named Google Post, just because Yahoo Mail was first? They aren't operating in the same space; furthermore, Facebook didn't name it just "Paper" in the App Store, they've named it "Paper - stories from Facebook".

    Exactly. It's a single generic word.

  Pictures or drawings? I don't know anyone who uses Paper for all their pictures. Maybe it's an image editor now?

    Which Paper are you talking about 53 or Facebook ?

  I would be confused about why you are putting a piece of paper on top of your iPad.

  I do not know - there are 240 apps in Google Play store that have "paper" in name. This includes "Draw Paper", "Paper Draw ", "White Paper", "Infinite Paper" and countless others. Also at least two apps are just called "Paper" - not sure how anyone can distinguish them other than looking at company name. I seriously doubt that 53 was the first company that used Paper in the name.

Never mind the hissy fit...move along now. I suppose they could go trademark "paper" and have a nice cease and desist ready to go?

how do two apps for iOS devices with identical names not create the potential for confusion?

  I don't know what you mean there is "Paper – stories from Facebook" and "Paper by FiftyThree". You know what I don't see them complaining about? "Paper" by misoft (an identical product by the way) and 100 other apps with paper in the title. Considering misoft got "paper" and fifty three had to use "Papaer by FiftyThree" it kind of makes me wonder if this isn't a case of the pot calling the kettle black. This seems much more like manufactured controversy for free press than anything else.
