CTOnews.com, Oct. 10, like many other companies, Microsoft often faces disputes over product brands and names. For example, from SkyDrive to OneDrive, etc. The latest events show that Microsoft has handled a case related to the "Windows" brand.

Kate McKenzie, a woman from Duston in Northampton, UK, is trying to launch a new reading tool, Word Window. The tool is inspired by her own and her son's struggle with dyslexia and is designed to help such children read normally. It is named "Word Window" because it helps to break down words into pieces that can be read through gaps.

CTOnews.com learned that, however, the original name of "Word Window" was "Word Windows", and when Microsoft noticed the trademark, Microsoft lawyers contacted it because it violated the Windows brand image, and Kate McKenzie personally found herself in trouble because she had spent a considerable amount of money preparing the product.

Fortunately, Microsoft is prepared to settle the dispute with her, only to ask to remove the "s" from the product name, which is a great comfort to her, because it is not easy to fight a giant like Microsoft.

Now that everything has been settled, the product packaging has been reprinted, and all the bits and pieces of the website have changed.

As a result, the handheld reading device has now been renamed "Word Window", and the content-- the reading tool itself and manuals-- remains the same.
