Elon May Have a Huge Issue Because Microsoft Owns the “X” Trademark
There's another big problem with Elon Musk's Twitter rebrand: Microsoft owns the trademark to the title "X." In a word: lol.
You're viewing a single thread.
How does both meta and microsoft own the rights to "X"
Trademarks are very narrow. From my quick search Microsoft has 'X' marks in relation to Excel and Xbox.
Meta's trademarks actually has the class, 'Online social networking services,' that will overlap with Twitter's new name.
From what I understand, MS owns it in regards gaming, and Meta owns it in regards to social media.
Probably in different industries. I saw the MS patent is for game related stuff. I would assume metas is for social media stuff, or some other field they're involved in.
Trademark, not patent. I wouldn't normally correct you but there seems to be a whole lot of misunderstanding in this thread about the categories of intellectual property.
I was just about to ask that myself.
