/e/OS has a registered logo (trademark) or not?

Hello everyone.

I accidentally noticed the similarity between Ecco and /e/OS shoes, below are pictures for comparison))

As far as I know, even if the letter “e” of the one who registered it first is similar to another “e” of the one who registered it second, then this is already considered a violation. Correct me if I’m wrong…

In case of looming trouble, they could just go ahead and change it to MurenaOS or whatever and use the Murena logo to avoid trouble.

Also, it could be they are treading a fine line already, so I would suspect they have somebody at hand who knows stuff in this field so they don’t get into trouble.

(That’s a well-known logo sourced from Wikipedia, flipped on its head)

Thanks for your reply.

I think MurenaOS would be nice…

MurenaOS is also a distinctive search term, which would help general Internet users find discussions, documentation, and introductions of the platform more easily. Neither e (since punctuation is generally ignored, even by Google within quotes) nor eOS are very good for this on text-based web search.

This renaming has been going on for a while, and all the cases have been made, so don’t expect them to be in a hurry to change the OS name right now :wink:A new brand name for /e/OS - Murena - #62 by Fairphoner

As for speculation on possible trouble with the Murena name (since this topic here is about logos and trademarks) … apparently there was a comic book and a car, at a minimum … So, it is MURENA ! ... Long life to Murena!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are right, I also encountered this problem, but for searching I recommend NOT using Google, there are more ethical search engines! For example
