"Virginia-based startup that's calling itself "Operation Bluebird" recently filed a formal petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office to cancel X Corporation's trademarks of the words "Twitter" and "tweet," due to X essentially no longer using them, and abandoning the previous Twitter brand."
""Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use the X name or Twitter name or any of the X or Twitter trademarks, logos, domain names, other distinctive brand features, and other proprietary rights, and you may not do so without our express written consent.""
A Virginia-based startup named Operation Bluebird filed a formal petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office seeking cancellation of X Corporation's trademarks for the words "Twitter" and "tweet." The petition alleges that X has effectively stopped using those marks and has abandoned the prior Twitter brand. The petition relies on grounds of non-use and abandonment to challenge X's continued trademark rights. X's terms explicitly prohibit users from using the X or Twitter names, trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features without express written consent. The petition seeks removal of trademark protections based on those alleged actions.
