Google wins legal battle over Android trademark

Google and fourty six other companies finally won the Trademark infringement suit over Android. Erich Specht, a software developer, who runs Android Data Corporation in Illinois had claimed that Google infringes on his trademark where which Google used to name its open-source operating system. Android had sought an injunction on Android-branded products and$94 million in damages. Reports state that Android fell apart in 2002, leaving the company dissolved and the trademark effectively abandoned. Deciding over the case, the judge granted Google's motion to throw out the case, agreeing that Android Data had been abandoned. The court also took further action to cancel Specht's trademark, as it could cause possible confusion with the Android mobile OS.
