The concept of them trademarking the google constitution is actually hilariously dark.

If the three point seatbelt were invented today, would the patent be available to all? Or would Volvo just make beaucoup bucks by paywalling it?

Well, a trademark wouldn't have that consequence, I think at most it could just prevent someone else calling a similar system a "constitution".

Now a patent would be different. If they somehow registered one preventing anyone to use similar safety measures, yeah, that'd be evil. If they can have it enforced, of course.

Ah, yes. Good point.
