Title: [2016-03-29]Antonopoulos and Uphold Get into a Spat over Trademarked Saying Post by: BTCBinary on March 29, 2016, 02:52:35 PM Antonopoulos and Uphold Get into a Spat over Trademarked Saying
Other than the ongoing Bitcoin block size debate, there are other topics being discussed on social media which relate to digital currency and blockchain technology. The topic of one particular discussion comes in the form of Andreas M. Antonopoulos using the term “internet of money” to describe Bitcoin, a sentence for which a trademark request has been filed back in 2015. Uphold is also involved in this story, considering the trademark application belongs to them. What is the world coming to when people start patenting pretty common sayings? http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/03/29/antonopoulos-uphold-get-spat-trademarked-saying/ Title: Re: [2016-03-29]Antonopoulos and Uphold Get into a Spat over Trademarked Saying Post by: CryptoDatabase on March 29, 2016, 02:58:08 PM If I were Andreas I would simply file a counter suit if he tried anything stupid and challenge the validity of that trademark under Common Law since it is a commonly used saying.
