The Tweet Trademark
Tuesday, 11 October 2011
Social Media website Mashable reports that Twitter has settled a lawsuit over the use of the word "Tweet".
"Twitter doesn’t currently own the trademark to the term. Instead, Des Moines-based Twittad controls the trademark. Twittad a provider of sponsored advertising on Twitter, has trademark its tagline, “Let your ad meet tweets.” It also has trademarked various variations of the word “tweet.”"
Until now that is, Mashable tells us they have come to a "resolution" that will transfer the trademark to Twitter and allow both sides to continue doing business.
The story is also covered in the Wall Street Journal who go into greater detail about the legal side of things.
