Is the rebranding gonna happen tomorrow?
Perhaps. But DARSH may never be able to get the trademark for DASH.
They are on *VERY* shaky legal ground if they try:
anyone who is a holder of Dashcoin could oppose a Darkcoin Foundation registration of Dash if they believe their interests can be damaged by the registration of Dash by the Darkcoin Foundation.
First the jury is very much out on whether the developer of Dashcoin has the right to sell the IP rights to the coin. Furthermore even if we were to grant that the developer did have this right there has been enough commerce done on Poloniex trading Dashcoin and with the functioning of Dashcoin since the so called sale to negate if not dilute those rights. The Darkcoin Foundation is in no position and has not acted to prevent either the functioning of Dashcoin or the trading of Dashcoin.
There a two issues here. First the rights to the Dashcoin name are not the devs to sell.
What the Darkcoin Foundation may have acquired here is enough of an interest in the Dashcoin name to prevent the trademark registration by a third party, if and that is a big if they can show they have acquired a bona fide interest in the Dashcoin name. It may be the case is that simply owning some Dashcoin may be a better way to prevent the third party registration of Dash.
This brings me to my second point there is a good possibility that any holder of Dashcoin may be able to prevent the registration of Dash by Darkcoin foundation in the event the Darkcoin Foundation succeeds in blocking the third party registration of Dash.
In conclusion the Darkcoin Foundation may be able to use the name Dash; however it also may not be able to get the exclusive rights to the name. Preventing someone else from getting trademark rights to a word is a lot easier that obtaining those rights for oneself.
TL;DR: Any attempt by DARSH to trademark DASH will cost a fortune in lawyers, and there's a low probability success.Better to reserve those instamine/Ponzinode derived funds for this:
