I think Hodor from Game of Thrones has a slam dunk case against Hordr.
@Andrei-ng2yz
Maybe we should get Louis Rossman involved in reporting on the situation.
@jay-cm
the title situation is crazy
@louisstanwu
"Maybe we should get Louis Rossman involved in reporting on the situation." 100% agreed.
@yuu-kun3461
I think the hordr guy just gave hoarder more publicity by pulling this crap. I certaintly din't know about hoarder before!
@festro1000
I think it should be illegal to copyright actual words, imagine being ably to own a copyright to common words like map bookmark etc.
@Supperconductor
Funny thing about trademarks, if you don't actively defend your trademark, it can be invalidated on those grounds in the future. This is what often triggers seemingly silly actions like this.
@anon_y_mousse
If they really sent a DMCA notice then that's fraudulent as that applies to copyrights, not trademarks. Second of all, you can't trademark the word hoarder or any other dictionary word, so attempting to claim a trademark violation when the app name he chose is Hoarder is likewise fraudulent. It's the equivalent of claiming a trademark on the dictionary word itself. I hope he sticks to his guns and keeps the name Hoarder and maybe teach those douchebags, who clearly just want to soak up profits they haven't earned, a lesson.
@Dr_Larken4
We live in a world where you can literally take the same business plan, the same you UI, functionality, basically copying a website or an app especially if you copyright it first and get away with it There was two brothers I think in Germany that copied eBay, made their own version of HelloFresh and they made billions! Obviously, I summed it up pretty quickly, but you get my point
@stayupthetree
Ok your title freaked me out thinking I've been using Hoarder and it is super bad
@PhilipRibeiro-j4g
This remembers me of the same thing Bethesda did to Mojang because of a game in development called Scrolls. Bethesda filled a lawsuit against Mojang and their reasoning was that the name of the game was almost identical to their trademarked name Elder Scrolls and Mojang was infringing their trademark so they needed to change the name of their game, but in this case Bethesda almost lost the case and they made an agreement with Mojang for then to keep using the name Scrolls but with no right to release any other sequel using the same name.

Need this for all browsing history, I don’t want to bookmark anything. If I visited it, I want to be able to reference it later 😂
@captainlightbeam
While thinking about this, keep in mind that a copyright infringement is entirely different from trademark infringement. As an aside, I wonder if the trademark on "Hordr" is susceptible to invalidation?
@Ronaldo-se3ff
Hoarder vs Hordr seems pretty clean cut to me. Clearly a copyright troll.
@snerketryne
Lol imma just start trademarking words. Like i own "hello" from now on, you're not allowed to use it anymore
@kosmos3718
here I was getting ready to watch a 9 minute cleaning segment & house transformation video
@Sawta
Imagine naming your application "Ho radar" and getting mad at someone using the name "hoarder".
@amateurwizard
Time to name it Hoarderr, like the other Servarr-like apps
