Jolla Being Sued By Golla
 
Not sure if it needs a new thread, but merge it with an existing one if not.

Just posted on Jolla's Facebook page an hour ago:
Golla phone accessory maker suing Jolla

Can't see where the confusion is going to come from, IMO.
One company will be making an awesome smartphone, the other will be making a bag to put it in. :confused:

Its much ado nothing i.e. a PR-stunt by Golla most probably as the following quote shows Jolla is quite safe:

Quote:
The approval authority has dealt with Golla and Jolla brands and found that they are not too close to each other. No, we do not believe there is a risk that customers will confuse Jolla phone to Golla bags. - Antti Saarnio, Chairman of the Board at Jolla

Of course we need a new thread even if the off topic threads was way ahead as always.

they pronounced Jolla as "Yolla", it doesn't sound that much like "Golla" :D

That doesn't mean anything (like, strictly speaking, any trademark or patent). The question is, if it goes to trial, what the judge will decide.

Luckily this is happening in a civilized country (Finland). Imagine if that was happening in the US! :)

In the Netherlands there was a tv channel that was going to be named: Me.
They were sued by WE, a clothing store.
We won.
