NVIDIA Files Trademarks for 3080, 4080 and 5080
So word out on the street is that the new NAVI cards might be named Radeon RX 3080. Guess what NVIDIA did when they learned about that, they filed a trademark on these 'numbers'. Of course, Nvidia's last two GPU series were named GTX 1080 (Ti) and RTX 2080 (Ti) and yes that could stir up some confusion on brand naming.
NVIDIA now has requested trademarks for "3080", "4080" and "5080". You can read about it on EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) where the claim has been filed, let me also reiterate that the trademarks have not been granted just. And quite honestly, I doubt you can trademark numbers.
We'll update once we learn more about this ruling.

LOL, unbelievable level of stupid. You can't trademark numbers. Nvidia is that bent on slowing down node shrinks as they don't have any tangible benefit for their own IP's.
I have to wonder what they plan on doing once 5nm finally hits. I know, try to trademark 5 and nm.
The only stupid thing here is AMD intentionally confusing users to grab a few more sales. There is absolutely no reason to directly invade NVIDIAs numbering scheme, other then shady marketing. You can like or dislike either NVIDIA or AMD all you want, but they have absolutely no logical reason to use 3080 for their graphics marketing, other then trying to ride on NVIDIA popularity.
They've had seperate numbering schemes for years, why muddy the waters now by doing such nonsense?

No because that's not how trademarks on generic terms work.

Something tells me AMD won't be using the 3060/70/80/90 etc for their upcoming gpu's.
Reason be that IF they were actually going with that naming scheme, I'm quite sure their legal team would have had handle all the necessary naming legal stuff beforehand.
I could be wrong tho.

Peugeot trade mark the 0 there because it was a convenient place to hide the hand crank we are talking about 100+ years back on that one !
On the other hand yeah i can see why they would do that amd lately "trolling" competitors with the naming even if their trademark fail it might be enough to force amd to let this name go and go for 6xx or 7xx naming sceme ....hmm why don't they call the big navi 3870 ?
