As I recall, Bob was a big smiley face, no doubt violating the trademark/patent/whatever of whoever owns the 'Have a Nice Day' logo. If the product had taken off, perhaps they could have sued. Still, this means Bob has less of a resemblance the Mighty & All Powerful Bob Dobbs, and more to 'Bendy' from Archie McPhee. So, those of you interested in test-driving Bob can probably buy a Bendy and save a good deal of money.
This may be another argument for using alternate domains other than the 'big 3,' besides the lower cost. My domains on the.cx hierarchy have never been in question.
