"We decided to make the change so it will be easier for people to match the company with the brand-name of the product," said Martin Bouchard, president of Copernic Technologies. "Our customers already think of us in terms of our flagship product, Copernic, the industry's most advanced search tool, and the name of our website www.copernic.com. The new name also reflects our prominence in the international market, and the product name, Copernic, is a more appropriate word to say who we are internationally. As the world shrinks more and more and we need to find a more universal language to reach diverse markets, our product name, Copernic, is a better vehicle to say who we are."
