A career of spray and pray lawsuits.

A few things must be noted concerning this lawsuit:

1. This is the second class action attempt launched against Google by this trial-lawyer outfit: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/05/02/class-action-lawsuit...

2. This Steve Berman guy behind the suit was a Microsoft lawyer, it's notable becase another Microsoft lawyer tried and failed to sue Google on ad/antitrust grounds a few years back: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110901/14553415771/court...

3. Ultimately a judge would have to decide if this ever goes forward but reading the the two fillings for the two separate lawsuits, both are no more that just PR statements with news clippings.

The purpose here is likely an attempt at obtaining documents via discovery, doubtful it goes that far, it's an obvious money-grub scheme.

People did get confused by the original site, see HN comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7710205

Also don't trademarks get forfeited if you don't enforce them? there are at least 2 of them being misused in this instance.

Edit: not quite sure why my comment is getting downvoted.
