[QUOTE=Carlton Dance;47700660]The thing is that Skype is alot more known than Sky. So if they win this they'll destroy a huge brand that's known over the whole world.[/QUOTE]Is Sky even a thing outside english speaking countries?
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47701794]Is Sky even a thing outside english speaking countries?[/QUOTE] It can be used as a Swedish word to describe, well, skies. But I've only really heard it in relation to weather conditions, not so much in everyday language. That and it's pronounced differently.

really dumb imo. Anyone who manages to confuse the two brands or logos is a complete idiot and would probably barely be able to use a computer.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47701794]Is Sky even a thing outside english speaking countries?[/QUOTE] It's the word for "cloud" in Norwegian.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47701848]Does Sky make sense as a company name in those countries? Because Skype is universal.[/QUOTE] Not really. Skype is all over the world so that's easy to identify but if someone told me of something with Sky (without following up with "Broadcasting") I wouldn't know what they were talking about.
EU was really dumb on this ruling.
The Earth should sue Sky since it trademarked the name of something already in existence in that case....
[QUOTE=Source;47702078]The Earth should sue Sky since it trademarked the name of something already in existence in that case....[/QUOTE] I wonder if that would work. Being able to pose as a lawyer of Earth as a planet (not it's population, just the planet itself). You could also sue entire industries for maltreatment and (domestic) abuse :v:
Maybe a Mr Giant B. Bastard should consider suing Rupert Murdoch for the same reason?
time to re-activate MSN!

Sky is also a swedish word for Gravy.
[QUOTE=Donkie;47703348]Sky is also a swedish word for Gravy.[/QUOTE] ... What? "Sås"?
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;47703407]... What? "Sås"?[/QUOTE] No? Sky/Gravy is "Sås" based on the liquid from the thing you're cooking. [url]https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_(matlagning)[/url] [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravy[/url]
