Is using another companies trademarked name in the URL and service name and collecting their users names, emails and passwords not likely to lead to some legal action?
That way I can pull your stats without your peloton username and password. Kind of a poor man’s oauth flow. You can always revoke the “friendship” later.
In more practical terms, back when PTON was still a stock darling, they constantly pushed how engaged their community was via Facebook groups, etc. so going after this would probably be a death knell signal that the magic is completely gone.
In this case, Peloton would argue that their name in the product name and domain might reasonably confuse someone into thinking that the two services come from the same company.
That said, your final point is the critical one. It would be a poor business move for Peloton to rattle their sabers at someone helping build a community around their product.
Sure, those are brands. I agree.
“Screen-scrape”, “I don’t know what simple is so it can’t be that great of a brand”,“Concierge” and “POS” would be bad brands that would likely fail trademark (in the same way peloton is a bad brand with limited trademark ability)
