The ever popular Downloader App that is used by most cord-cutters to install applications on media devices has updated to its latest version with various improvements and a new logo.

Downloader V1.5.1 Update with New Logo Due to Trademark Claim (1)

Downloader has garnished extreme popularity as it provides the ability to sideload applications on the most well-known streaming devices such as Fire TV Stick and Android/Google TV Boxes.

Many prefer to do so with popular Downloader Codes that only require a small series of numbers for the fastest installation of 3rd party applications and APKs.

The latest update, V1.5.1, has new features and fixes but the most important upgrade is to the official logo for the application that has been revamped completely.

Unfortunately, this change was forced upon Elias Saba (owner of the Downloader app) after a company by the name of Astral IP Enterprise Ltd. has attempted to remove Downloader from the Google Play Store.

They claim that Elias has violated their trademark for the download icon (arrow pointing down with a line under it) and are using this trademark to remove similar applications from the Google Play Store.

A company by the name of Astral IP Enterprise Ltd. is trying to get my Downloader app removed from the Google Play Store for violatingits ridiculous trademark for the generic download icon(i.e., a down arrow with a line under it). From what I can tell, this company is linked toLeap Fitness Group, sinceall of its trademarksare forLeap’s apps, includingthis “Downloader – Video Downloader” app. Do you see where this is going? It appears as though Leap Fitness Group acquired this generic trademark fromInShot Inc., makers ofthis other “Video Downloader” app, and are now using it to knock similar apps off of the Google Play Store. For all I know, these two could be the same company, as there arenumerous company names, all withvery similar app catalogscontaining what look to beclones of the same apps.

This isn’t the first time we have seen Downloader in the crosshairs, as it was removed from Google Play just a year ago after an absurd DMCA takedown request from Warner Brothers Discovery in India.

After almost a month’s long removal and tireless work, Elias was able to get his app back into the Play Store with a DMCA counter-notice.

Unfortunately, it appears as though the uphill battle for the downloading platform continues with these latest accusations of copyright infringement and for safety measures, Elias decided to change the logo entirely.

You can see the new logo pictured below which will now display on all devices you have the app installed on including Firestick, Android/Google TV Box, as well as Android phones and tablets.
