Colgate 360

Could Microsoft sue them because of this?

 

[Skrying]

You did not get the memo? Microsoft now owns all the rights to any product with the number 360 in the brand name, before and after the Xbox 360.

Sarcasm much?

Sarcasm much?

It's my favorite type of humor, sorry if it came across as a bit harsh, all in good fun. :smile:

There is something from ESPN.com called ESPN 360 too. Some sort of subscription internet service.

I noticed it around the same time as Xbox 360 was announced, I was like dang, 360 is the new buzzphrase..

 

[Naboomagnoli]

I've got one, in fact it's already playing up..

Rushed paintjob, just a cheeky but good spirited joke!

The thing is. The toothbrush reminds me of an xbox. Especially with the green ring in the bristles.

aw... I thought this was going to be another one of those Burger King-type games.

And in other news, Microsoft has patented the Circle.

 

[Deepak]

There is Yahoo!360 too.

lol, kudos for that one


and of course don't forget they need to sue Ferrari for that cheeky little 360 they make.

me too.

I thought to myself: "so...the games gonna be about brushing your teeth or something? "

 

[DeathKnight]

Doubt they'd sue or even pursue legal action. Oral hygiene is a bit far from video games and electronics entertainment, so it's not like Colgate is using the "360" name to capitalize off the success of the console. The green rings on the product are just coincidence. If anything they may find it humorous and welcome any comparisons being made between the products as it gets more people talking about the 360.

Only Apple are that anal about tradenames.

I think this is one of the reasons MS went with the 360 name. It has become quite popular and trendy, shorthand for "all encompassing" or "total experience".

 

[London Geezer]

Of course. Since MS copyrighted the 360, no one can say 360 anymore without paying a fee to MS.

Did you not see the reports of all the people living at house number 360 of their road, having to pay monthly license fees to MS?

And also the reports from schools, which now have to pay MS everytime a teacher mentions that there are 360 degrees in a circle?

You wrote 360 - 4 times in this message - you are liable to pay MS $.
Sh*t! I have to pay also, since I already used 360 above - damn - twice now....

The middle section looks like it should be telling you how many controllers are in use!

 

[Diamond.G]

My wife and I have that brush (one per person before anyone get bright ideas... eww sharing toothbrushes). They work pretty well, the downside is the tongue cleaner doesn't feel like it is doing anything.

(I've always found the cheap classic toothbrush to work well, I think I do a good brushing job and I don't need an expensive, advertised one with weird patterns, thanks.)
