Comment on Show HN: Focal, a Pomodoro Appparent

Comments

Sure, but a trademark applies for products and services in the same category.

If someone makes Apple crayons, that’s okay.

But somebody making media or computing devices with the name “Apple” in it, that’s a problem.

True, but the trademark is in this category though, "Pomodoro" along with "Pomodoro Timer."

Examples of products can be, but are not limited to:
- Timer
- Software application – desktop, server, mobile

Just saying. Not sure they'd come after a project this size (thanks for sharing OP!). You could probably safely make a line of Pomodoro brand jet skis.

holy crap just read through the site and it was bizarre how somebody could spend so much effort reinventing an old Japanese time management technique by slapping an Italian name and demanding rent from anyone using the italian word for tomato
