Sound to me like they are trying to see if Twitter is willing to change their mind when they threaten to shut the service down and break all the tweets. Rebranding would be an obvious option but they would still have to keep to current domain alive in order to not break the links. Could they abandon the trademark and still keep the domain or could Twitter just grab the trademark and based on that later also try to claim the domain and maybe restore all the links from a backup?
- snowwrestler 12y agoTwitter could issue them a license on their brand name, with the contract limiting its use to catching and redirecting old links. As long as there is a nominal license fee, that should satisfy the trademark lawyers.
