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.

In my fantasy world, there is an exigent puns exception to copyright and trademark law.

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.

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.

cmill189 - sans Volvo > Chariotoflove 10/28/2019 at 15:56

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.
