Tepid results from Tesla and 3M weighed on Wall Street on Tuesday as investors focused on an approaching wave of earnings reports from Microsoft, Alphabet and other corporate heavyweights.
Amazon’s Ring LLC is being sued for allegedly copying ADT's trademarked blue octagon symbol. Bloomberg reports that the home security company wants Ring, a provider of smart home security devices, barred from using the symbol as it violates its copyright.According to Bloomberg, ADT Inc (ADT) alleges that it’s been using the blue octagon symbol for decades on window stickers and lawn-signs. It also states that that the trademarked symbol is currently displayed by about 6.5 million customers. The company wants a federal court to issue a cease-to-use order against using the look-alike symbol by the Amazon (AMZN) subsidiary.According to the Bloomberg report, ADT owns 12 registered trademarks for the shape, color, and look of the blue octagon shape in question. It also claims to have invested substantial resources in promoting its security offerings under the blue octagon trademark.The standoff stems from the two companies working together in the past. However, in 2016, they signed an agreement in which Ring promised never to use any trademarks similar to ADT’s. Alphabet’s (GOOG) Google ended up acquiring a 6.6% stake in ADT for $450 million last year.
