"you will never, ever stop generic usage by ordinary people"
True enough. I guess the question is whether this sort of
generic usage should result in loss of trademark protection.
It would be one thing if Google stood by and allowed this
guy to start his "googleyourstuffthroughme.com" business
without objecting - one could argue that Google is not
defending their trademark. But it is hard to argue that
Google should be faulted for not responding with a cease-
and-desist letter whenever someone casually says "hey, go
google up how to fix this leaky faucet".
In other words, for generic use of trademark terms to lead
to loss of trademark protection, can it be any widespread
use, or does it have to be infringing commercial use to
which the trademark holder fails to respond? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
