Google loses Nexus One trademark to Portland-based Integra Telecom

Google's bid for a trademark on its Nexus One smartphone has been denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which concluded last week that the name is too similar to a trademark held by Portland-based Integra Telecom.

This is what happens when a company fails to protect its IP. Amateur move Google. next time learn from Apple.

"doh"

Wonder who takes the fall for that?

That one has to sting a lil'... 😉

Eh, this is likely a nonevent. Integra is one of the smaller guys. Google and Integra will come to an "agreement," and the unwashed masses would know no better.

Hard to have too much passion for that name anyway. They can buy if deemed worth it or simply intro a new model with a new name ..adding to the hundreds upon hundreds of model names out there already. Non-news to me.

Bang goes Google's Marketing expense for the Nexus One!!!

next time learn from Apple.

So in other words, rather than give a device a similar, yet different name, copy the name verbatim, letter-by-letter exactly, from another device. Good thinking 🙄

 

[ChazUK]

I think they should rename it to DaveSW. 😎

What’s a trade market? Did I miss the part of the article where Apple commented?

But I hope Integra charges them a huge premium for the name. I would.

Not worth it really as it has barely sold any. Amirite? 😀

If Cisco demanded that of Apple, all of you would be whining that it's unfair to Apple 🙄

 

[niuniu]

Wonder if they'll go on a hissy fit and threaten to remove Google.pl 😛

But they didn't so it is a moot point.

So what you're saying is it's not OK when Google uses a name that is similar to another product's name, but it's OK when Apple blatantly steals another product's name?

Moot.
