Hyundai missed a naming opportunity with the Veloster N. I would love to have seen the performance model called the...
...Veloster Raptor.
That is all.

One of my coworkers has a Veloster with “raptor” as his vanity plate. I lol’d.

My inner twelve-year old (and every man is still a twelve-year old boy inside) heartily approves.

100% they would argue that consumers might confuse the two.

Better’n the Molestor

It does. I was impressed with how small it looks, and also with how much it can hold.

That probably wouldn’t sell as well.

And he’s got a sticker too. Now, if he’d had it done as a plaque in chromed plastic, I’d have been speechless.

I always called them Velobsters.

I’ll allow that. There is a claws in the policy for that level of cleverness.

Oh no question, and they’d do it with a straight face.

You could also get a horn that says SEGAAAA

There was a small cookie store around here that was forced by Pillsbury to change their name, “Dough Boy”. The store was old timey military/pin up themed. Pillsbury threatened that customers could confuse this singular store with their Pillsbury dough boy.

That’s sad. I’m disappointed they couldn’t fend them off with a prior art argument. But fighting these things costs a lot of money, and what small business has that.

Yeah. The legal costs of fighting were greater than changing their name and packaging.

It’s always the way. Civil law is pretty much the tool of the wealthy.
