After reading this I kind of regret buying Paper's (FiftyThree) digital pencils/brushes/etc. A drawing app wanting to kill the use of that word in other industry verticals... i think "trademark troll" is now a real thing
- jimwalsh 13y agoSo you should be able to start a computer manufacturer and call it Apple?
- antr 13y agoNo. I should be able to start a magazine and call it Apple. Facebook isn't launching a drawing app nor FiftyThree a social network.
- jimwalsh 13y agoBut both are competing in the the same place, the app store, over the same thing, your attention and money.
- antr 13y agoThat's an absurd argument. You are saying Kayak.com is competing directly against kayak (boat) retailers on Google because they have the same name. I'm sorry but that "competing" argument is pure speculation, borderline bs.
- mintplant 13y agoOr, perhaps, they want to defend themselves in case Facebook makes a move against them regarding their brand name.
