I only ask because I was looking around http://www.xboxachievements.com/ and they now do "Quick Look"s.

Just seems like a very specific phrase to call a video game, internet clip. Especially when there is another site that does Exactly the same thing in the same way, About the same type of content.

I don't think they could copyright the words "quick" and "look." Even if they did, I doubt they'd ever pursue anyone for infringing on it. Doesn't mean it isn't really lame to copy the term, though.

They can't be trademarked. For example, neither can "look-see" or "fleeting look"

To be fair, it's a naturally descriptive term. "Here is a quick look at Dying Light", for example, is just a normal sentence.

@joshwent: I believe this is actually how the term came into use on Giant Bomb. The first one was called something like "A quick look at Burnout Bikes."

They should totally name it Kwiklook so that it's trademarkeable.

Why can't Quick Look for video game videos be trademarked?

Well, today Taylor Swift trademarked/copyrighted the phrase "This sick beat" (look it up, it's true) so I guess anything is possible!
