Decision from the judge "Issuance of the injunction precluding Bluebird's use of the Twitter-formative marks is contingent on X Corp.'s posting of a $500,000 bond."

Both X Corp. and Bluebird have asked to go to court on Nov 2027.

The core reason to enforce trademarks is not to fluff the corporation that holds it but to let the public be confident in the name. So the trademark should hold for as long as a reasonable person can be confused by the new Twitter regardless of people's dislike towards Elon.

I may be biased because I still go to Twitter via twitter.com.

I stopped going. Between the spam and the racist unmoderated AI slop cannon that is discovery there, what's the point

I don’t even open twitter/x links anymore because the page is so unusable.

Is it accurate to describe this as the public domain? I would expect that the bird logo still enjoys copyright protection, independent from its status as a trademark.

Probably not many do remember, but before this logo Twitter had a different bird logo until the company was already quite big.

If I remember correctly this logo was allegedly bought from a royalty free image platform and Twitter had no exclusive rights ti it. Also there was a little outcry that the original artist just received the royalty free platform usual ridiculously small one time payment.
