Google and Amazon aren't best buddies lately and Google is threatening to pull the YouTube app from Amazon devices on January 1st. Amazon filed for trademarks on 'Amazon Tube' and 'Open Tube' the same day Google delivered their warning. According to the TVanswerman, the descriptions of these trademarks look very familiar. You might say the services look remarkedly like something YouTube provides. Whether or not this will infringe upon Google IP is another story. This might turn out to be another tech company battle royale in the making.
On the very day that Google posted the January 1 warning on the YouTube app, Amazon filed trademark requests for ‘Amazon Tube’ and ‘Open Tube.’ While Amazon does not mention YouTube in its applications, the lengthy descriptions for the two names bare an interesting similarity to YouTube’s main features.
