Thank you for the advice. I really didn't do it on purpose. I just thought WhatsApp for Desktop was a proper name for the project. I wasn't aware it would produce so much confusion. I'm going to change the name of the app asap. I'll also make it clearer it's an unofficial app. What else do you think I should do? Do you have the same thoughts about http://messengerfordesktop.com/ http://messengerfordesktop.com/? Should I rename that app too? Thanks again.

> Should I rename that app too? Yes, in my semi-informed, non-lawyer opinion, you should change the name and remove all references to the FB Messenger icon. I don't think Facebook has a word mark on "Messenger", from a quick USPTO search, but using the name makes it harder to defend your use of trademarks like this one within the app: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:9lam6t.11.2 http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:9la...

  I will do a rebranding of both apps. I've already started with WhatsApp for Desktop which is now Unofficial WhatsApp for Desktop. The link seems to have expired, can you please post another one?
