Why Are Companies Like Meta And Microsoft A Threat To Twitter's New Logo X?

Meta, Microsoft, And Others Hold Rights Over Letter “X”

Experts claim that businesses like Microsoft and Meta already have intellectual property rights that extend to the same letter. Furthermore, it would be unusual for Twitter to successfully change its name to “X” without encountering any legal issues because the letter “X” is so frequently used and mentioned in trademarks.

“There’s a 100% chance that Twitter is going to get sued over this by somebody,” trademark attorney Josh Gerben told Reuter. Josh reported that he found approximately 900 current U.S. trademark registrations for the letter X across a variety of businesses.

The new Twitter logo X Features a stylized, black-and-white rendition of the letter. If other branding may lead to customer confusion, trademark owners who protect things like brand names, logos, and slogans may claim infringement. The options for relief include monetary damages and prohibiting use.

Microsoft has had exclusive rights to use the X trademark in conjunction with communications relating to its Xbox video game system since 2003. A blue-and-white letter “X” is covered by a federal trademark owned by Meta Platforms, whose Threads platform is a new Twitter rival. The trademark was registered in 2019 and covers industries such as software and social media.

Japan Edges Toward Corporate Crypto Tax Reform

Image
Source: Oka/Adobe Japan is inching closer to reforming its strict crypto tax laws for corporations – in a bid to stop an “exodus” of crypto talent and capital from flowing overseas. Pressure to reform has mounted in recent years, with industry figures and opposition leaders alike all calling for change. More recently, the top financial regulator, the Financial Services Agency (FSA), has signalled that it also wants to modify the restrictive laws. But a final step in this process is approval from the National Tax Agency (NTA). But while the NTA is yet to publicly signal it will make the change, analysts believe that it is working on a tax reform bill that it hopes to unveil in parliament in the coming months. Late last week, the NTA released a set of FAQs that address the matter of crypto taxation. And while these did not directly make mention of any coming reform, Junya Izumi, an Associate Professor of Tax Law at the Chiba University of Commerce, pointed out on Twit

Bitcoin Price Holds At $27,400 – Will US Unemployment Claims Be The Catalyst?

Image
Bitcoin (BTC) price is back in the $27,000 zone with no signs of an exit soon. The king crypto is consolidating between the $28,551 and $26,578 zone as market players hope for a significant catalyst to trigger a rally. According to economists, United States unemployment claims could have a bearing on Bitcoin price as the number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits has been increasing. Nevertheless, as interest rates continue to increase, the U.S. labor market is gradually softening. Based on recent revelations, the U.S. economy added 253,000 jobs in April; the unemployment rate fell slightly to 3.4%. We just learned we created 253,000 jobs in April. That's 12.7 million jobs since I took office, an un employment rate that is the lowest since 1969, and the highest share of working age people in the workforce since 2008. My plan to invest in America is working. — President Biden (@POTUS) May 5, 2023 The following is a description of how U.S. un employment is a
