Search for "Paper" in App Store on iPhone, first result: Paper Toss 2.0
Just like Facebook gets on practically everyone's case that has face or something like that in their name/domain.They didn't call it the exact same name as another app. The Facebook app is called "Paper - stories from Facebook", the fiftythree app is called "Paper by FiftyThree". There is actually an app in the store called "Paper" but it's an entirely different thing.
No. I don't like Facebook anymore than the next guy, but FiftyThree doesn't own the word "paper" anymore than King.com owns the word "candy" or "saga."Typical dick move from Zuck & Co. They should have known better and it's obvious there's an app out there that exists by this name already.

Don't get me wrong, I can see why FiftyThree would be unhappy about Facebook's name choice but he does not own the word paper.
Granted, I know Candy Crush and that whole "candy" debacle is ongoing but still. One single person can't own a word like that. It sets one hell of a standard.

I hope this project will fail harder than the Facebook phone. I just don't see how anyone would replace the regular Facebook app with this.
Also, get rid of other useless apps like Facebook messenger, as the features are kind of already in the app.
Other failed Facebook projects:
-Chatheads
-Facebook Camera
-HTC Status
-HTC first
-Integrated Google (what happened to this idea)
-Polls
-Facebook Hashtags
Need I say more?
Chatheads failed on the iPhone...because of Apple. It was pointless to have them only available within the app which is what Apple required. On Android, they are a much better feature since they are available wherever you may be within the OS.Typical dick move from Zuck & Co.

The first link had expired,
and the second says "Paper by 53". This tells me that the term "paper" was never meant to be a stand-alone marketing term due to its vagueness.
No one should be able to trademark paper or candy. It's just stupid.
Honestly FiftyThree's trademarks are actually for "Paper by FiftyThree" and not just generically "Paper". Legally Facebook are completely in their right to name it what they want to.
I don't not believe you but proof of this would be nice.
I trademarked the letter 'i' and the word 'I'. You may no longer use it freely. The license fee is $0.001 for the letter 'i' and $0.01 for the word 'I'.
As in "Facebook Pages" or "Pages from Facebook" or just "Pages" like Apple's own apps in the App Store? If it's the latter, it seems obvious that you can use the exact same name as an existing app.What if Facebook used the word 'Pages'?
Definitely wish this was available in the UK...maybe in the future.

Change from UK to US App Store and download it. That's what a lot of people who aren't from the US are doing.
Suddenly everyone is a trademark expert.
Can we get another story about the patent litigation, I liked it more when everyone was a patent expert.
What's your area of expertise? I agree, people seem to just make stuff up to fill in the gaps about something they think they've got a handle on, but there are one or two members who know their stuff.
FWIW I've studied patent, copyright and trademark law to some extent, and enjoy a small percentage of these news stories, mostly because they're hyper theoretical or make interesting case studies to while away the hours distracting me from doing what I'm actually supposed to be getting on with in my own sad and meaningless life with no quantifiable similarities to the kinds of wealth and legal issues associated with such stories about litigation from huge corporations like Facebook. With that in mind, there's little point in ANYBODY passing the time commenting on any of these articles as the day flashes by.
What's your reason for being here?
What happens when you change back to UK though?
