Replying to @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org
X registered and still owns Twitter according to the USPTO in class 38, 41, and 45.
The payment service applied for class 36, 41, 42. Class 41 is duplicate and a problem…
That said, X will have to prove its use in commerce to renew if contested and has a duty to defend it’s brand. If my limited knowledge serves… Best luck.
This makes me wonder how the deno targeting Oracle to free the JavaScript trademark process is coming along. It’s been a while since I read something from it.
