China did not make good on their threat, concerning not honoring US copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
Instead, they decided to hit America with both tariffs (84%) and sanctions on select American companies.
#China #Tariffs #Copyright #Trademark #Patents #Usa
China, economically, is about to metaphorically speaking, drop a nuclear bomb, on the United States.
China has suggested they will, null and void, all American copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
Imagine everything ever created or currently being created in the United States in China's eyes, will be public domain. That is a bell, once rung, cannot be unrung.
#China #UnitedStates #Usa #America #Trade #CopyRight #Patents #Trademark #Economy #Tariffs
China has implied they may void all copyrights for the United States, if Donald Trump does not stop with their tariffs.
If they do so, that could be interesting. China would surpass the United States practically overnight.
Linux users -- Imagine all non-free content, suddenly being public domain.

@ryanleesipes and AFAIK #Mozilla only has the #Trademark for #Thunderbird and @thunderbird is being granted useage for no fee...
After all, that"s certainly better re: #privacy and way better than "yet another #Chromium fork" like #BraveBrowser ...
A historic Black church took the Proud Boys to court. Now it controls their trademark

@raccoon @bartholin @nixCraft @0xF21D @thunderbird @bobkmertz Last time I checked, #Thunderbird's #Trademark was still owned by @mozillaofficial and they still used some infrastructure with them, but for the most part is doing their own thing.
I.e. Scientology is a "non-profit" but that doesn't make said cult any less inhumane or less profit-oriented!
@nixCraft I think @mozillaofficial should hand over #Firefox to @torproject and let #TorBrowser become the new #upstream!
I mean, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird got taken over by it's community as well. Not shure if they have any relations beyond #Trademark and some #Hosting infra at #Mozilla...
‘I felt nothing but disgust’: Tesla owners vent their anger at Elon Musk https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/feb/25/i-felt-nothing-but-disgust-tesla-owners-vent-their-anger-at-elon-musk
The tycoon’s links with Donald Trump and Germany’s far-right AfD have slammed the brakes on sales and put the car’s owners in a spin.

It's been a while since I posted. I thought in November I'd be back to sharing cat pics and comics. Instead, I got a rude awakening. Last week, in my final attempt to reach Pinterest, they sent an email that made one thing clear—apathy is part of their corporate structure. This is my public response to them.

#TIL how many people registered #Solarpunk as a #trademark
We have at least 6 tradermarks for just the word! :D
@Researchbuzz 1/ Well, that's claiming credit where none is due. There is no evidence in either file that Unprotected.org had anything to do with the NON-FINAL refusals. #trademark #wordpress
For many years I wrote & research on intellectual property & in the end concluded that of all IPRs trademarks were those with the most social utility for consumers....
Its difficult to see what social utility is served by trying to wreck Banksy's trademark protection, other that to increase the ability of a greetings card company to see unauthorised goods.
Sure trademarks can be abused but here the only real issue is who owns Banksy's persona!
How feasible it is for asking Reddit to close a subreddit that has a trademark name of a product or service?
For example, if you have "Marco's Pizza Place" as a trademark, and there is a subreddit called "/r/marcopizzaplace", could you tell Reddit to close for trademark violation?
I believe you should, but I'll hear lawyers on this.
Yes, there can be progressive #trademark law.
"Black D.C. church vandalized by #ProudBoys awarded control of group’s name"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/02/04/dc-black-church-proud-boys-name-trademark-rights
A historic Black church in Washington has gained control over the Proud Boys trademark and can bar the group's members from selling any merchandise with its name or symbols without consent.
Oh this is great!
The #ProudBoys owed $1 million to Metropolitan African #Methodist Episcopal Church in #WashingtonDC after the #bigot #fascists attacked the #historic #Black #church in 2020
They didn't pay
So the #courts just ruled that the church now *owns* their #trademark
An #AME church legally owns the term "Proud Boys" and all of their #merchandizing!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer #gang of #violent #racist assholes
