Is there not already an EU wide patent? https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/4/EU010103646 (apparently registered in Germany in 2011)...
I mean it's a step but I don't know if it'll stop people relating scams to the name...
Topic: Bitcoin's name and Logo Registered in Spain. - page 3. (Read 699 times)
Bitcoin's name and logo have been registered with the Spanish Patent and trademark office. This is great news for the family of Bitcoin to be recognized officially. An anonymous person through a lawyer had deemed it fit to secure the bitcoin name and its logo, he's a bitcoin buyer and seller, according to the news I quote: "I am a bitcoin salesman, I have a buying and selling office, and the idea is to protect bitcoin, at least in Spain. So I stand up for the brand and take responsibility that any new user can feel 100% safe working with me and away from the scams that name and use ‘bitcoin." These words are so powerful than I can imagine, lets us arise and protect this technology from the hands of its enemies, the Spanish have done the needful and let others follow suit. I welcome you'll to another world of Bitcoin. Source Jump to:
