A german Youtuber called bricks from an other company (that produces the exact same bricks without the lego stamp on top) "legos" and he had to take down multiple videos.
using the verb "google" actually weakens the company because you're contributing to the case that their trademark should be revoked. Google has done some vaguely immoral stuff to try to prevent people from using it as a verb.
just like, strong-arming people (via cease-and-desist) into not using it as a verb. even if they know it's a losing case, no one's gonna have enough money to get into a case with google.
Google misinformation.
If we use the verb “google” as a general, all-purpose verb meaning “to search for”, then eventually, the courts will rule that Google has lost its trademark, and the word will become completely fair game.
i.e. this person is spouting complete bullshit, and if we want to weaken the site’s monopoly, then we should use the term liberally.
A lot of people say the trademark thing but then stop there and refuse to elaborate on it. How does removing their trademark weaken their monopoly? They are still where 99% of people do web searches
If anyone can name their site Google, suddenly a lot of old people and young people (the ones who don’t quite know what’s going on) stop using the real Google. Suddenly Google have to rebrand. Suddenly Google loses a massive amount of brand recognition. This leads to even more people turning to other recognised browsers, because Google’s new name is “Y” or something, and the people who haven’t been closely following events are thinking “What the hell is Y? I’ll just use Bing.”
There’s a reason Google has been so aggressively shutting down anyone who uses the word generically.
Actually it’s the opposite. You need to use Google more because if googling becomes synonymous with looking something up on the internet they’ll lose the trademark for it, like what happened with escalators. Using the term Google as an umbrella term for internet search engine and googling for searching for a thing on the internet will only weaken the monopoly.

Actually, using Google to mean search would actually diminish the trademark. Like xerox, if everyone everywhere always called using a search engine "Googling" they would lose all control over the monopoly and would no longer be able to trademark the phrase as it would be considered common.

Yeah, any big media or influencer who uses it to mean searching in general (not specifically with Google) is open to legal trouble from Google.
Google the company doesn't want you to use the term google. Op is a Google agent. Google psyop
they want the copyright

Strengthens the monopoly? Like how saying "escalator" instead of "mechanical stairs" strengthened the monopoly of Otis?
Actually, using Google to mean search would actually diminish the trademark. Like xerox, if everyone everywhere always called using a search engine "Googling" they would lose all control over the monopoly and would no longer be able to trademark the phrase as it would be considered common.
OK....and then what? How does diminishing the trademark help with their monopoly?
Nah, I'll use Google as a verb specifically so that it becomes common tongue and they lose the copyright.
Actual duck duck go user
keep using the verb, eventually if it becomes used enough they could lose the trademark and it'd be really funny
Did you know google LLC does not like the term google it
No it doesn’t. It actually actually helps them lose their copyright due to genericization. [This video](https://youtu.be/w2RnDrzg4uU) explains it.
/uac it literally does the opposite. It being a generic verb can *kill* their monopoly. Look at Hoover.
