If only it can make this pesky kangaroo go away

Nvidia wants to use the name Hopper for its coming architecture range, the only thing standing in its way is a kangaroo.

Nvidia’s successor to the Ampere architecture has been called Hopper since 2020. The name is a nod to Grace Hopper, a pioneer of computer science and a Navy officer. Among her achievements was the co-creation of UNIVAC, the first fully electronic computer; the co-creation of COBOL, the first enterprise programming language; and the coining of the term "bug" to describe a computer malfunction.

However, Hopper is also the name used by Dish Network for some of its products and its use is in reference to a kangaroo. In April last year, they contested Nvidia’s trademark of the name, claiming that it infringes on their trademark of it in relation to telecommunications services.
