I bet you were not expecting this to happen but it looks like Google and lots of other Android friends are in trouble with the law. Why is that? Well a certain Erich Specht who owns the trademark for Android Data Corporation since way back in October 2002, has sued Google and pretty much everyone else using the “Android” term for trademark infringement.

You would expect Google to be smarter than this and to actually apply themselves for the trademark for “Android” right? Well they did and the trademark application was denied to avoid confusion with Mr. Specht. I guess that Google and everyone else is going to pay a lot of money to keep the Android name in business. That’s right, Mr. Specht wants money and a name-change for Google’s OS. But what’s in a name anyway?
