Trademark law and copyright law are completely different. Stop talking about copyright.

Then Android has nothing todo with droid because it's a different word and has nothing todo with Android right?

Or do you want to sue everyone that has Andr (Man) in his name?

ugh

1) trademark don't cover just exact matches

2) trademarks are in their own classes, you can't litigate across classes

3) common words are perfectly fine as trademarks, as long as commonly associated with a product

>common words are perfectly fine as trademarks, as long as commonly associated with a product

Yes exactly and Droid is NOT associated with a Smartphone-OS but Android is.

it's as if you only read one point out of three and I'm out of charitable interpretations thus unable to further the discussion.
