If this was a Democrat she'd be getting praised for being hip. But she's a Republican, so they ask if she'll get sued. Sheesh.

Somebody thought that headline was awesome and wrote a story around it. I’d almost have to concur!

I wouldn’t have made the Google connection had I not read this article. Still not entirely sure that I do

Unless Google can prove that the font is trademarked by them, they have no case whatsoever. It is her actual name. And it is monochromatic.

I do wish that writers would learn to suppress their urge to use words like “bespoke”, which is not well understood in the U.S.

After all, the story is about the United States, not Britain.

A few years ago, the University of Wisconsin sued a Kansas university (Washburn), over the letter 'W'. Wisconsin (on the left)won, and forced Washburn to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to put a new logo everywhere. I couldn't believe they were successful, but they were.

From what I can tell, Google can't seem to make up it's mind what font style to stick with and that they pretty much use the 4 color motif.

Googe isn't using 4 colors and is using a common font. It's not like Google developed and trademarked that font exclusively for them.

But alas, for liberals, this has nothing to do with legalities or technicalities.
This would just be an excuse to attack a republican.

Will Google sue Sue Googe?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck . . .

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers . . .

DANG!

It would be funny if they did.

I seem to remember that Google themselves were sued over the name by those that hold the copyright to a cartoon character Barney Google. I believe they won the suit.

You cannot trademark color. Red, green, blue have been around before Google.

Sleazy oligarchs try to copyright common, in use knowledge because Govt gives out ill gotten monopoly which means mega money.

I own the copyright to the period “.” punctuation. Please seek my permission before using each period. Thanks.

It will depend on what the actual name of the font is. If it is called “Google” or something else with their name in it, then she may have a problem. If not, she can tell Google to go pound sand.
