I wonder if they could just use “tweet”. is “tweet” copyrighted? [as far as I know] hashtags were originally just a twitter thing and they spread outwards. obviously the word “tweet” is more interlinked with twitter’s name and identity, but, if it’s not copyrighted, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be able to spread like hashtags did

No idea if this link works, but Tweet™ is a trademark of Twitter®. https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:hiahzz.3.41 https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:hi...

  It annoys me to no end that TESS links aren't sharable. But if you click the "TSDR" button, it will take you to an equivalent TSDR page for which the link is sharable: (It seems Twitter actually has the "tweet"® trademark in two different classes, so I'm not sure which one you were originally linking too) https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85116717&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85116717&caseType=SERIAL_... https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=77715815&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=77715815&caseType=SERIAL_...
