Germans brothers called 'Samwer' copycat any existing successful website like ebay, amazon etc. Now they probably will trademark any single existing word. So typically german, just like chinese...

The German tech- and startup-scene hates the Samwer brothers as much as the rest of the world because they gave German startups a bad name.
