don't think so
What, so the lawsuits are all of a sudden going to stop?
yes, like coca cola is going to change its established name eventually, too
just as with coke, there is no business basis to necessitate change
There will be, if it is deemed that the name is offensive enough that it shouldn't be trademarked. The last time this happened the case was thrown out due to a technicality. The parties advocating a name change seem to have their ducks in a row this time around. I don't think the organization will change the name out of choice, but rather out of need. And this illustrates one of the possible ways that might happen.
no, it's a brand
one the owners have spent a **** load of money establishing in the minds of the consumers
why, after spending so much to establish a well known brand, would they then choose to change it
That's a good point. But to answer your question, for the reasons mentioned above.
won't be necessary
but this illustrates my point about the folly of changing the name of a well established brand
should they choose to make a change, the replacement name had better be MUCH better than the one they abandoned
so, come up with that better name and re-brand
until then, nothing is going to change
Agreed.
