To clarify, use of the original "right tilted", "orange" #Bitcoin #BTC logo continues unhindered 'as-is' in the public domain."

I don't get it. If the logo is in the public domain, then how can its use be restricted?

I maintain Threshold of Originality over the current Bitcoin BTC logo / design concept. I can therefore apply (and legally enforce) Trademarks in jurisdictions.

Use of any "left tilted ", "green" (unofficial Bitcoin) logo is therefore in breach of my Threshold of Originality.

BCH and BSV are both copies / forks of BTC.

In terms of trademark branding, BCH and BSV have modified the officially recognised BTC logo.

Effectively the BCH and BSV logos (and blockchains up to the forked blocks) are counterfeit.
