Neither is really any more or less OK than the other. Whether or not either is OK is a matter for the USPTO, courts, lawyers, and private agreements to determine.

Android Studio as a development tool for building anthropomorphic robots might be OK whether Google liked it or not ;-)




Well, you're right, but Google explicitly has said that "X for Android" is ok because they allow it for apps on Google Play (whereas naming your app "Android X" is forbidden and can get you banned).


Fair enough (note that "Android Studio" would presumably not be an "App" so much as a desktop IDE).
