Snap Inc. has sold more than 100,000 of its funky retro Spectacles.
Formerly Snapchat Inc., the social multimedia firm now considers itself…
“…a camera company. We believe that reinventing the camera represents our greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Our products empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.”
In related news, a judge has ruled against a trademark infringement case brought against Snap by Eyebobs of Minnesota. They…
“…felt the similarity of the eyeball logos would lead a Spectacles user or Eyebobs customer to think the two companies were partners, or had collaborated.”
However, Snap…
“…denied these claims, adding that a crucial flaw in Eyebobs’s argument was the trademark in question. While Snap held a trademark on its eyeball logo, Eyebobs only had a trademark on its name, not its logo.”
Ouch!
You be the judge:
My take: I’m intrigued by the POV angle of the camera in these smartglasses but a negative is the circular 1088 resolution. And getting your video out of Snap and into something you can edit might take some finagling.
