For the same reason OpenStreetMap has footpaths, cyclepaths, railways, rivers
but is still called openSTREETmap?


That's more for historical reasons and tradition. I think the 
OpenStreetMap name may be confusing, and discourage potential 
contributors. But it is now a well known brand, so not worth the effort 
of changing it. And the community would never agree on what to change it to.


But if OpenStreetView *has* to change its name, it could change to 
something more inclusive. And something more distinct from 
OpenStreetMap, to make it clear it is a separate project.

Hi all
I know the laim vision of OSM is to axhieve a good quality mapping ,  but i
want to say that i have been exploring uses more qualitative of the
Photomapping apps OSV and Mapillary , and these tools are extremely
powerful to document projects with an ethnographic dimension. View from the
subject,  every subject,  the child,  the person with wheelchair, the
elderly, the woman in public space, the prostitute, etc.
It is ablsolutely amazing and all these people is giving their view of tbe
world in a same database.

The point is, the name could take tbe word People
PeoplesView

I would argue against this.

To me, "OpenStreetView" sounds okay in non-english languages (Spanish, 
French, German), contrary to "StreetScape" which I imagine would be really 
strange for me to say to a Spanish person: "Existe también una 
alternativa: StreetScape"; they would look at me strangely.


My two cents,

Streetscape is totally fine, if you just want to have the same problems
again.

Rough step by step guide to finding a workable product name:

- don't do it in public

- don't use anything descriptive

- google for the name

- do an exhaustive trademark search (or rather let your fav IP counsel
do it for you)

- register the trademark in your target markets

- register the domain names

- launch the product

Apple is naturally the text book example that you can use a commonly
used word as a trademark, it just needs to be not descriptive. So it is
completely OK to use Apple as a mark for computers, but not for fruit.

Google doesn't have a product called "Google StreetMap" that I know of,
the rest is just speculation.

A reference would be nice to see if it had anything to do with the
incident at hand. But on one hand TeleNav is located in the states and
on the other hand winning something in Belgium is really only relevant
if Belgium is your only market.

As explained above naturally you can, and if you can show that your mark
is well established (see notorious, and similar concepts, trademarks)
you might even get around some of the normal restrictions (a good
example is the OpenStreetMap trademark).

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetView name change

[Simon Poole]

Sigh 

Trademarks are not patents, there is no concept similar to  prior art
(there is in the US some thing which comes quite close, but that is just
1 (one) country). If you are a trademark owner you need to monitor
applications that are close to your mark and if the examiners don't
throw them out because of them being too similar with existing
registrations, submit an opposition to the resp. IP office.

In any case the complaint by They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was not only not
unexpected, it was entirely expected.

TeleNav does not have a licence to use OpenStreet-anything from the
OSMF, and as all projects that use a name that plays on OpenStreetMap
the only thing it does is weaken the status of the OpenStreetMap mark,
impacting our position if we ever have to defend seriously against
misuse (you could argue that we, not They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named should
have asked TeleNav to not use the name for the above reasons).

Tacking "Open" on front of anything is very unoriginal and in the
meantime completely meaningless, at best it might imply "slightly less
closed", but even that is not a given.

How about just StreetScape?

I think the open- prefix is unnecessary unless OpenStreetView is officially
part of the OSM project? We should be expecting all good projects to be
open by default, so branding as Open may be unnecessary. In addition,
projects should be aiming to compete on features and completeness (as
helped by the openness) as opposed to relying on being open as a USP.

Just my 2 pennies worth,

Joseph

View is quite a common word. Imagine apple claiming the rights on
anything that starts with I- : I-crap, I-whatever, I-rail, I-eat (there
are thousands of those). They wouldn't exist either without Apple.

They seem to have no problem with OpenStreetMap vs. Google StreetMap

tactics.

I've went against Google in 2008 on a map dispute and won , didn't have

They thought they could force American rules on a Belgian company, they

the same time and when they are ignorant they loose.

in our EU law system you cannot claim ownership over common words like
that.  It's not because you're big and bold that you can get away with
bullying.

So, why not use OpenStreetMapView ? It's just an extra word behind an
existing brand, almost as old as Giggle maps.

This is hardly surprising, and not unreasonable (there's no "Ford
Beetle" or "Volkswagen Mini", nor a "BurgerKing Happy Meal". for
example).

Does well-know-bully-company own the word 'view' ?  I don't understand
why you consider yielding on this.  They can ask all they want right ?

[OSM-talk] OpenStreetView name change

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,

A few months ago, we started with OpenStreetView, the free and open street
level imagery project made 100% for OSM with apps for Android and iOS.
Since then, we not only have collected almost 30 kilometers of
coverage, but also received a lot of attention from both you and the press.
This has also led to a friendly (for now) request by a well-known company
with a similarly-named product :) to not use the OpenStreetView name. So we
are looking for a new name. We have some ideas already but I wanted to ask
if you had any suggestions for a new name for OSV?

Thanks for your support and happy capturing / mapping,

Martijn + the OpenStreetView team
