Amazon has filed for AmazonTube trademark as fight with YouTube gets pettier - The Verge

'Amazon applied for an “AmazonTube” trademark earlier this week, according to a filing found by TV Answer Man, as the company’s public feud with Google over accessing YouTube content on Amazon’s devices continues to escalate. '

'To recap, this whole mess started back when Google abruptly pulled support for YouTube from Amazon’s Echo Show device, citing violations of its terms of service. '

' Since then, Amazon has resumed selling Chromecasts, and Amazon and Google are in “productive talks” about keeping access on the Fire TV, but as of today YouTube remains unavailable on the Echo Show and Echo Spot. '

'Google then took things a step further, adding warnings to the YouTube app on Amazon’s Fire TV streaming devices that the service would no longer be available starting January 1st. '

'TechCrunch notes that Amazon has also applied for a trademark on “OpenTube”, as well, which, if anything, is a more blatant name for what Google is looking to accomplish here. '

Free markets don't have trademark.
