In this case, "Dynamic" is likely referring to the fact that the robot is dynamic, not the company Boston Dynamics. In fact, Dynamics is literally just the study of forces and their effect on motion, so I feel like it would be a stretch for them to try and own a term used in every undergraduate mechanics class [1].

I figured that, but if their marketing references Boston Dynamics, like the headline of the submission did before dang changed it, I can see an argument that says that a layman might assume this project and Boston Dynamics are related in some way.
