Google is accused  because  Google has ‘stolen ’ name of trademark ‘Android’ illegally. Google with 47 other international corporate has claimed  by  US  distrk court to accusation of infringement trademark for use of the word ‘Android’. While, for Google, Android is the name of open source, comes from the Linux-based operating system for mobile phones and mobile devices, first introduced in November 2007.

While Erich Specht, a developer of software and Internet applications, as well as service providers, which is located in Illnois, revealed that Android is the name of his company, Android Dara, where he has been insured their trademark Android in October 2002 by U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) . Google then apply the trademark Android in October 2007, but eventually Google’s Android was rejected by USPTO in February 2008.

Reasons of USPTO to reject that is very grounded, because since Google and Specht cooperate in the development of software and related services, consumers seem to prefer to associate Android with the one original source, which is open source system. While, Google claims that trademark Android does not have used by the company’s Android Dara for more than three years. However according to the USPTO, the decision rejecting claims Google is final.

However, Google also does not stop until there, Google tries to appeal again in November ago, and ask that this case be delayed until the clarification is clear, and USPTO also provides delay. In addition, Specht  have been claim compensation up to $ 2 million for any company, including Google for use Android in term. Specht also act firmly and will have a Android trademark only for himself. Meanwhile, Specht also submit the same claim to the Open Handset Alliance, China Mobile, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Vodafone, ARM, Broadcom, Intel, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba, Wind River, and etc/david
