Comment on Codecademy closes $10M round

Comments

There's CodeCademy and then there's CodeAcademy. The latter was registered in 2002 while the former was registered in 2011.

Frankly, I'm surprised CodeAcademy hasn't complained about this. When you search for CodeAcademy the results default to CodeCademy.

I don't know any of the players, and maybe it doesn't matter, but wouldn't a first-use trademark dispute tend to defer to the 2002 registration?

CodeAcademy.com currently redirects to CodeCademy.com (I suspect CodeCademy bought the domain now that they have investment money).

if you're talking about CodeAcademy.org, they do seem to complain about it all the time.

It looks like CodeAcademy.com redirects to CodeCademy.com.
