Google Denied Trademark for Nexus One

“Google doesn’t get embarrassed too often, but the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office (USPTO) just dealt it a loss of face by
rejecting its application for a trademark for the Nexus One
smartphone.

“The PTO decided on March 9 to decline Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG)
request on the grounds it could cause confusion with the mark in
U.S. Registration No. 3554195, which belongs to the Oregon company
Integra Telecom.

“Integra, a provider of phone, Internet and other telecom
services to small and midsized businesses, applied for its
trademark in December 2008 for its Nexus fixed bandwidth integrated
voice and Internet T1 product.”
