  1. If you say you are "Open", you really need to be open. Otherwise, you will be seen as nothing more than a bullshiter.

    "The EUIPO found that the word "open" would be understood by the relevant public as meaning freely accessible, while the combination with "AI" (artificial intelligence) would be interpreted as referring to products based on openly accessible artificial intelligence.

    OpenAI had argued that the word "open" has multiple possible meanings and that "OPENAI" is a coined term without a fixed meaning. The company also cited comparable trademark registrations previously granted by the EUIPO and registrations in more than 30 other countries, including the United Kingdom and Singapore.

    The court rejected these arguments. It ruled that the combination of words was not an unusual linguistic combination in English. Furthermore, registrations in other jurisdictions were not binding under EU trademark law."

  9. Bite Size Economics No.35

    'Trademarks are the only really socially useful form of intellectual property rights'

    After 25yrs researching IPRs I concluded while patents & copyrights inevitably privileged the interests of 'owners', trademarks offered significant (immediate) benefits to society more widely.

    By helping consumers quickly assess claims around quality & origin TMs actually delivered enhanced information to the market, supporting informed choice(s).
