Except Twitter is encouraging the use of the word Tweet in applications, but not their brand name, Twitter. Perfectly acceptable in my personal opinion. On Aug 12, 5:13 am, "jim.renkel" wrote: > BTW, twitter is trademarking "tweet" as well as "twitter". You have > been warned! :-)

I got a letter from a UK law firm too regarding www.twitlonger.com (which clearly doesn't use the word Twitter). They weren't too draconian in their claims. They want a disclaimer put on the site (fair enough) and for me to stop using the little blue birds (again, fair enough. This is what happen

[twitter-dev] Re: FW: Twitter is Suing me!!!

I really really want to see them backup the tweet trademark. All birds are now being sued by twitter, they can no longer say; tweet tweet LOL. Seems lil twitter grew up and found lawyers. While I don't agree or like the product that Dean sells, I dis-agree more with the misuse of legal represent

Actually, what they say is "If, however, you do not comply with these requests, Twitter will be forced to consider suspending your Twitter accounts and take such steps as it deems necessary to protect its intellectual property rights". In short, we are asking you to stop selling your product and g

Not to add fuel to the fire either, but looks like Twitter may have to become like the RIAA and spend all their money suing half the Internet (or paying high priced lawyers to send out letters etc) Re: 2/ That no one can use the word "Twitter" in their domain A quick Google search reveals... tw

Not taking sides, here, but so far you are the only one that has reported receiving the C&D letter. How do you get from 1 instance of legal action to "Twitter's lawyers are shutting down the third party developer community"? - h On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 20:56, Dean Collins wrote: > > Does Twitte

[twitter-dev] Re: FW: Twitter is Suing me!!!

As others have pointed out, this isn't a lawsuit. That aside, Twitter announced some time ago that they were not comfortable with people using their name as part of the name of their product ( http://blog.twitter.com/2009/07/may-tweets-be-with-you.html) , so it seems odd that you would be surp

Funny thing about trademarking a name and trying to utilize that trademark against a URL, can't be done. If so, MicroSoft would have nailed people left and right for infringement upon IE (can we say IE7.com and IE8.com) as well as several other websites that utilize trademarked MS product names LO
