Kinda unfortunate for Firefox OS guys. Amazon's Fire Phone OS is called Fire OS... definitely gonna confuse some folks...

The "Fire OS" has been around for a couple of years now, previously powering Kindle Fire devices.

Sounds like a trademark case waiting to happen but looking it seems neither "firefox os" nor "fire os" is trademarked in EU or US.

It didn't turn up in a TESS search (at http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=4802...), perhaps it's an image mark, not words.
