Genius,
Thanks.
obvious that no one can use a name of a trademark registered as it is Microsoft
which is not a word of the dictionary is rather a mark composed of two words that means
(micro software) and not a word of the dictionary merely common. Microsoft is a genuine
brand and not a simple word.
Is the onion also private property, seriously?? Each one is free to draw an onion as desired
and make it a logo. Maybe the current Torcoin logo is an exact reproduction and in this
I agree with you, but otherwise I think you are totally wrong.
Common words, yes, even ones in dictionaries, can be trademarked so long as the company or organization is not using the generic form of the word for its product or services. You cannot trademark "Apple" if you are selling apples, but you can trademark "Apple" if your selling computer hardware under an "Apple" brand.
Tor has already proven themselves capable of trademarking it, because they have, and they are protected by US law.
If "Torcoin" was a coin centering around Tornados, you might have an argument. Torcoin centers around all the services provided by Tor and uses Tor itself in the description of the coin, without Tor's approval, and is in violation. You can disagree as much as you want. Laws are laws and Google & Apple will adhere to them. Stop misleading people.
Man.. Tor Browser is open source and everyone is free to do what they want with the code.
What you propose here has no relevance.
@Thetorcoin is not copying what Tor has done
and is not proposing his invention with a variant of his name but like many there is
implementing a technology that relies on the technology that uses Tor. It seems to me that
it has nothing to do with what you are saying here.
Does Tor have a legally protected digital currency called
Torcoin made for the same purpose?
Well, if that's so, I'll shut up.
