Earlier this week, Microsoft announced its plans to relaunch SkyDrive under the new 'OneDrive' brand. The move came after the company faced a dispute with British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB, trading as 'Sky'), which argued that Microsoft's SkyDrive brand infringed on its own trademark. But it seems that Microsoft may be facing a further dispute over its new OneDrive branding. One.com has offered cloud storage solutions under the 'Cloud Drive' moniker for the last three years, allowing customers to synchronise their files to their online storage.
Thomas Medard Frederiksen, chief operating officer of One.com,
said that his company is now "consulting trademark experts" following Microsoft's rebranding, stating that OneDrive is "a name that is very close to One.com's own cloud service." One.com says that "OneDrive, from Microsoft, is a similar product - with a similar name, that will lead to confusion."
