> “No,” said the lawyer. German company names have to be distinctive, and “Plenty” is a plain English word. Berlin would reject it.
Good.
Good.
It they're allowed to trade as Tempo in Germany, why isn't a company allowed to be called Plenty?
I agree it would be nicer if you couldn't hijack a normal word in the hopes it does well enough that people know of it and are constantly reminded of the brand, or that related searches have to consider putting this among the results, but in terms of a level playing field idk
They could probably call it "Plenty Apps GmbH" and that would be fine.
