No One Forced Me to Drop Bitcoin Trademark Application, Lawyer Says
- timmyd 15y agoMr "Pascazi" - refer to http://bit.ly/pEgrbE http://bit.ly/pEgrbE. Notably 5.8 in this case - i'll keep a watch but if anyone notices a filing in Australia - let me know and i'm happy to write and object :) Also, incase this fool didn't realize - the evidence trail he is leaving across the web implying that he intends to use it in bad faith is well ... amateur at best. Also - perhaps Pascazi needs to understand technology a bit more. Notably, learning how bitcoin works. Let's Pascazi a lesson in law and take him ..... Puts on sunglasses ..... to bits .... YEEEAAAHHHHHHHHH

- megamark16 15y agoThe name doesn't matter, the technology is what makes Bitcoin. We could change the name to BitBills and I don't think anyone would miss a beat, the work would move forward and those that matter would move along with it.
- ScottBurson 15y agoTrue, but that doesn't change the fact that it will be a total perversion of the fundamental purpose of trademark law if this guy can manage to register a name that other people are already using, whether or not they've registered it. Trademark law is for helping you protect a business you're building, not to give you a way to steal from others who have already made a mark significant. I hope this guy wastes a bunch of his own money and gets nowhere.
- shareme 15y agoSO we can trademark the name pascazi? Now that would be ironic
