Looking forward to #Musk trying to trademark a Unicode symbol, in this case 𝕏 :) Maybe we should start using #x1D54F as the new Hashtag for everything #Twitter and #X #𝕏 :) unicode-symbol.com/u/1D54F.htm

@jwildeboer Trademarks of single symbols or Letters exist, but usually in very narrow categories.

DPMAregister lists 1136 entries for Trademark "X" ...

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:

@lobingera Well, Musk wants X to become the β€œeverything” App, so very narrow categories won’t work ;)

@jwildeboer
I think i know some people in DPMA (Deutsches Patent und Marken Amt) who care very much *not* what Musk wants.

And they have the longer leverage.

@jwildeboer I pointed out earlier that it clearly wasn't the same as the X.Org logo.
It now becomes clear why - X.Org had a clue.

I think it would be even better if we could possibly use 𝕏 as an alternative hashtag sign: 𝕏Twitter.

@jwildeboer the point is not if he can register it, it's what would he control from that.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:

@carlopiana One of the many "plans" he has boosted about is to make 𝕏 the "everything app", just like WeChat in China. Your complete digital existence in one single app, controlled by a right-leaning narcissist. Isn't hat we al want? ;)

@jwildeboer run by someone reliable, never reckless, capricious or negligent... Oh wait...

Trebach

@carlopiana @jwildeboer He can't control the name except in very limited circumstances written in the application. If someone already registered the name for any of those circumstances, the older one wins in the US.

For the design, it's so complicated that it'd take a whole college course for it, and that's before you introduce the Berne Convention!

I mean, if your level of creativity and inspiration ends at "let's look at weird symbols in my character map" and copy-pasting 𝕏 in your photoshop, export it as png and calling it a glorious day ...

Arazil

@jwildeboer So he copy-pasta'd the official copy-pasta'd symbol? πŸ€”

Ah, das ist demnach die Menge der Quartalszahlen von Twitter, und damit Γ€quivalent ℝ¬.

@jwildeboer I can see him suing everyone using the unicode in future for plagiarising their trademark !

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net the logo looks like it represents "how to chop your income in half"
