The Coca-Cola Company is reportedly returning to Russia after a two-year absence following the invasion of Ukraine. The company has apparently filed patent requests to reclaim the trademarks on Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Fanta.

@kevinrothrock the history of this century is so lazy written. It's just a remake of the last century, with some names and locations changed.

Except for Fanta.

From Wikipedia: Fanta originated in Germany as a Coca-Cola alternative in 1941 due to the American trade embargo of Nazi Germany, which affected the availability of Coca-Cola ingredients. Fanta soon dominated the German market with three million cases sold in 1943.

So how dose one distinguish between the fascists and their corporate sponsors?

Politico printed a peice detailing attempts by Balcan democracies work with Lidl, Ahold Delhaize, Procter & Gamble, *Coca-Cola*, A1, Yettel, Ferrero, Heineken, Mars, Mondelēz, L'Oréal, GSK (GlaxoSmithKline), Bosch, Samsung and Amazon in April. The were asking the multinationals to abstain from spending their advertising dollars on right-wing media platforms which catered to Russian disinformation and anti-democratic messaging. That was months before elections.

Tell me who you friends are and I'll tell you who you are.

@kevinrothrock I may be pedantic, but maybe not. How does a patent request reclaim a trademark?
