Google submits 1,928 pages arguing for a trademark of the word “Glass”
17 12 2014Google originally submitted the application in July 2013 for the word “Glass” styled in a particular font as branding for its Google Glass smart glasses. The USPTO responded in the fall, saying there are two problems with trademarking “Glass.”
The first is that the word is “merely descriptive” and that the product does not actually contain any glass (it’s made of titanium and plastic). Second, the word is too similar to pre-existing trademarks, making confusion “as to the source of the goods” likely, the USPTO said.
