Should one company be able to get trademark rights over the word RAPUNZEL for us in connection with dolls? The Federal Circuit doesn't answer that question but rules that a consumer doen't have the right to ask it (in the form of an opposition before the TTAB). #trademarks

Tesla’s ‘Robotaxi’ and ‘Cybercab’ trademarks hit roadblocks ahead of June launch
Tesla’s attempt to trademark the term “Robotaxi” has been refused by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for being too generic.
In addition, applications from Tesla for the trademark on the term “Cybercab” have been halted due to other companies pursuing similar “Cyber” trademarks.

Whoops. USPTO says Tesla's Robotaxi term for cars is too generic, denying their vehicle trademark. Tesla has 3 months to respond. A separate Robotaxi service trademark is still under review. #Tesla #Robotaxi #Trademarks
Leaders in the generative AI world are daring to say the unsayable: that copyright is not sacrosanct
For the last hundred years or so, the prevailing dogma has been that copyright is an unalloyed good, and that more of it is better. Whether that was ever true is one question, but it is certainly not the case since we entered the digital era, for reasons explained at length in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available). Despite that fact, recent attempts to halt the constant […]

Trademarks are your brand's unique identity – think names like Google, logos like Apple's, or even color schemes like Barbie's pink! 🛡️💡🎨 They distinguish your goods/services and build brand recognition. In India, the Trademarks Act, 1999 protects these marks, which can be words, devices, service marks, or even packaging. Protect your brand's uniqueness!

The only reason copyright works, is because the world's governments all agreed to respect intellectual property.
Without that, it will be a free for all.

Some quick questions come to mind:
- Is the trademark exhaustion doctrine wide enough to include the possibility of users removing #trademarks to guarantee the physical safety of a purchased good?
- Can Toyota claim reputational damage?🤣

Quite a few people have raised concerns about #trademarks because of the #OpenVox name and the use of the #puppet command names and paths.

Yesterday, the Federal Circuit heard oral argument in Curtin v. United Trademark Holdings. In this case, the TTAB ruled that Curtin--as a consumer--did not have standing to challenge the registration of the word RAPUNZEL in connection with dolls. #Trademarks
"Flock Safety loves to crow about the thousands of local law enforcement agencies around the United States that have adopted its avian-themed automated license plate readers (ALPRs). But when a privacy activist launched a website to map out the exact locations of these pole-mounted devices, the company tried to clip his wings.
The company sent DeFlock.me and its creator Will Freeman a cease-and-desist letter, claiming that the project dilutes its trademark. Suffice it to say, and to lean into ornithological wordplay, the letter is birdcage liner.
Representing Freeman, EFF sent Flock Safety a letter rejecting the demand, pointing out that the grassroots project is well within its First Amendment rights."
