I'm not sure why that links a subthread, this is the top level: https://old.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1mopzhz/16...

It's kind of frustrating how many people there are like "hire a lawyer" and OP is like "I did hire a lawyer".

It is weird that there'd be a minimum use requirement. What about for not yet publicly released projects? Or really, why would trademarking be essentially reserved for bigger companies?





Legal paperwork is a fig leaf proxy for a game played with lawyers and lots of money. If you can't actively and substaintially flex both, you'll discover how the world actually works in due course.

Isn't trademark pretty much customer protection so that you are not mislead by people selling different things under the same name?

If the project is unreleased or small, why would it be protected in scope of the entire european union?
