Topic: Who is trying to register Bitcoin trademark? (Read 388 times)
Somebody managed to register Bitcoin as a trademark, alongside registering its logo, in Spain, just over a year ago.
It only applies to Spain, and as absurd as it may seem, the status is currently still active despite there having been appeals which were rejected. It doesn't seem to drive the owner of the rights anywhere in practical terms, other than giving him and his business some publicity, and it’s still pretty clear that whoever is leading this case from an administrative point of view hasn’t got the faintest idea of what he/she is doing.
It should remain a local affair with no real operative derivate, and the same stunt has been tried out in other jurisdictions as mentiones in the OP.

That's really absurd. It's a well known fact that bitcoin doesn't belong to any particular person or group. So how come a court can assume their ownership and pass a judgement in favor of any random people claimjng trademark on bitcoin!!! It seems the judge didn't know the structure of bitcoin and he didn't have any idea on how it works.
It's quite funny to see that thieves are literally everywhere who don't feel ashemed to take credit of something that they didn't do!
I found an approved and active registration in Portugal for the word "Bitcoin".
https://servicosonline.inpi.justica.gov.pt/pesquisas/GetSintesePDF?nord=3426931
It is registered in the name of the company COGNITIVE, LDA. and the registration is done for the banking area.

While not the same as 'denied' it amounts to the same thing, its just that the USPTO has not officially declared it dead yet.
Does anybody know what it takes before they could dismiss everything and declare it as dead?It will depend on the resources that are placed by whoever is trying to register the trademark.
Either way, it is usually 6 months after the request is refused.
The USPTO page says that as of June 3 this year their application remains suspended and it looks like their appeals to progress with it are all denied.
It appears that it had the exact same status 6 months prior to that [Dec. 02, 2020], but for some reason, the overall status still remains as live/active! Am I missing something?While not the same as 'denied' it amounts to the same thing, its just that the USPTO has not officially declared it dead yet.

Oh he is still alive and active,I see him posting various Bcash related stuff on reddit almost on daily basis, his youtube account is still active but I am not following what he is doing on twitter.
I still respect him for his early work related with Bitcoin and it looks like he relaxed with all his anti-btc talk, unlike malicious Faketoshi who is going full power and suing everyone he can.

Yea same. Dude's passion was contagious and is totally on a different level, and he was a really really likeable person back then pre-forks. It's just unfortunate that he went the 'different' route. Tbh if he ever admit his mistakes and jump back to the BTC camp, I'm personally going to be fine with it, even if it's likely that the community wouldn't.
Anyone tried to register Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Satoshis Vision trademark yet, maybe for failed projects museum? 
At least one attempt occurred in 2018:
https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87633636&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch
--
And an accepted and active registration, made in 2019:
https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87926642&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch
Look at this document and what the person claims to be:

Oh damn, speaking of Roger Ver, didn't he just sort of suddenly disappear from the public(Twitter, specifically)? It seems like he finally gave up, thankfully so. Now someone just needs to convince Faketoshi to do the same; knowing that him and BSV's reputation is far far worse than Roger Ver and BCH.

I made a new collection of information and added the information of who made the application for registration of the trademark.
Someone makes a small twist in logo, font or naming and you have brand new trademark ready to be registered.Anyone tried to register Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Satoshis Vision trademark yet, maybe for failed projects museum?
The USPTO page says that as of June 3 this year their application remains suspended and it looks like their appeals to progress with it are all denied. While not the same as 'denied' it amounts to the same thing, its just that the USPTO has not officially declared it dead yet. Just look under Prosecution History on that page.
It is true. I hadn't noticed this detail in the research I did.
Status: Suspension check completed. Application remains suspended.
That's why I find this information useful here, as it helps everyone in the Bitcoin community, to be able to check who is trying to usurp it!

Most of them are just trying to register this trademark for branding their clothing, foods, and drinks nothing else.
While the rules do vary from country to country, in the US it is very rare for the USPTO to narrowly restrict the issuance and use of a Trademark or logo to just a single type of item. It either applies to all or nothing. 
Over the last few years, many people, companies or organizations have tried to register Bitcoin as a trademark.
The reasons for trying to register is for example for use on clothing, gifts, and the like.
Fortunately, so far, no one has been able to register!

it seems these are all brands they are trying to turn genuine BTC satoshi into fakesatoshi aka Craig Wright to serve their own purpose or reputation, they are really crazy when so many people know that the truth satoshi is just a pseudonym and he is as anonymous as he really wants BTC to be as anonymous as the name he uses. Some uninformed people may believe these about myself, I don't believe aka Craig Wright

Smith & Fredrick recently submitted their documents and still awaiting approval. Before them, a UK company "A.B.C. IPHOLDINGS SOUTH WEST LLC" registered this trademark for branding their clothing. "A.B.C. IPHOLDINGS SOUTH WEST LLC" owned this trademark for branding their clothing since 2018 and it will valid till 2027. They registered this trademark from the Intellectual Property Office of UK.
AFAIK, Other companies who tried to use or register the "Bitcoin" logo for branding their clothing has gotten a cease-and-desist letter from "A.B.C. IPHOLDINGS SOUTH WEST LLC", cause already they have own it.

I highlight this one:
Someone is trying to use the Satoshi name to register the trademark.
It would be good for someone from the US to be on the lookout to challenge if there is progress on this record.

Thank God no one has because they're going to be making a lot of money out of something that they didn't even know or remotely created or helped developed. This opportunistic pricks really knows no boundaries when it comes to greed.
I wonder if Roger Ver tried to registered something for Bitcoin, because he is one of the owners of bitcoin.com domain and exchange, but that is not the same as registering Bitcoin trademark, as we know that he tried to takeover the Bitcoin brand.

Bumping this as the 1st recent topic dealing with copyright of BTC logo vs that 'other' one which is a poor rehash of what is already here...

Interesting, and I didn't know about that info.His name is Eduardo Pérez Montero and he registered it as national mark B bitcoin.
I also remember fake martial artist and bad actor Steven Seagal running a ICO scam that was registered as Bitcoiin with two letter i

There is however a difference between a trademark and a brand.
