> The Register spoke to a trademark coordinator at Affinity Consultants, who wished to be identified simply as Brett. He acknowledged that commerce platforms have problems policing trademarked material.
> "We work with Amazon too," Brett said. "They have been having difficulty with enforcement." He added that Affinity tries to educate companies about how to respond to trademark concerns, but cannot control how they do it.
- dekhn 5y agoyes, IIUC it's factually and legally correct that this company holds the trademarks and it's their responsibility to legally pursue what they consider to be violations (in this case it was not a violation, and the shirt company was clearly explaining they had an automated process which generated a false positive). Everybody is outraged that the greek alphabet can be trademarked. If you have a problem with that, speak to your legislator instead of criticizing the companies exercising their legal rights.
