Isn't a trademark always tied to its respective business domain?
- samwillis 3y agoYes, but those "classes" can be quite wide, there is for example no way they could trademark it for "Class 9: Computer and software products and electrical and scientific products."
- Turing_Machine 3y agoWait until you find out about "apple" and "windows".
- samwillis 3y agoApple and windows are trademarks for software. You would be unable to get the trademark "Apple" for a company selling fruit, or "windows" for a window fitter, and neither could Apple or Microsoft. 𝕏 is a pre-existing symbol used by, and part of a standard character set for, software. You could probably get a trademark on it for a company selling apples, but I highly doubt you could for a software company.
- bawolff 3y ago> 𝕏 is a pre-existing symbol used by "used by" is pretty debatable. Its a fairly obscure character. I don't think being in unicode by itself is sufficient enough to count.
- _flux 3y agoThere is also https://www.x.org/ https://www.x.org/ which seems quite slow. I wonder if it's receiving more traffic than usually..
- denton-scratch 3y ago> its respective business domain Or to any number of business domains. See the trademark registration for "Wagatha Christie": https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00003895558 https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00...
