Does Facebook copyright "white text on blue background"?

- jeffool 15y agoI absolutely get the craziness of the claim. But given it's listed fifth of five claims they take issue with (others being outright trademark infringement,) I imagine they really only care about it in congruency with the others. I doubt (hope?) that even a giant like Facebook would go after every person who uses lowercase white text on a blue background. (That said, I've never used the app in question. I'm assuming the other claims, not referenced in the post, have a ring of truth?)
- fwdbureau 15y agoBut they won't sue every person, this applies only in the context of a facebook-related app, which is probably not completely unreasonable to ask
- andycroll 15y agoLooks to me like they are paving the way for the Facebook iPad app by try to reduce any risk of confusion between non-official apps.
- mikemaccana 15y agoReading the article, clearly they're trying to prevent confusion between facebook api apps and facebook. So no. flagged for linkbait title.
