Google Denied Registration for "Nexus One" Trademark

Google's bid for a trademark on its Nexus One smartphone has been denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which concluded that the name is too similar to a trademark held by Portland-based Integra Telecom. That trademark has been held since 2008 by Integra, which provides phone, Internet and other telecom services to small and midsized businesses.
