If you mean now that twitter isn’t using the word? I don’t know. Assuming they registered “tweet” as a trademark, there is probably a necessary passage of nonuse before you would be considered to have abandoned it. I doubt it happens on the first day of switching to X.
Here’s what some random lawyer on the internet says:
When the trademark owner does not use a trademark for a period of three years or more and has no intention of using the mark again in commerce in the future, the mark can go abandoned. Similarly, a trademark goes abandoned when the trademark registration expires (i.e., the trademark owner fails to renew the trademark’s registration), or if the trademark owner chooses to make an express abandonment of the trademark (i.e., officially abandons the trademark).
If Tweet was a legitimate trademark, no, since they’re using it for a commercial reason, as opposed to us plebeians who are just using it to annoy Musk.
But since Musk has effectively disowned the entire “Twitter” branding, there’s a good chance a judge would rule that the previous trademark no longer has any legal effect, on the “Use it or lose it” basis mentioned.
Prosecutors are seeking 20 - 33 years for the 5 traitorous insurrectionists.
I wonder what they’ll get.
Prosecutors are seeking 33 years in federal prison for Enrique Tarrio, the former leader, when he’s sentenced in the morning. Ethan Nordean will be sentenced Wednesday afternoon, with prosecutors seeking a 27-year prison sentence.
On Thursday, Joe Biggs — who prosecutors want to spend 33 years behind bars — will have his sentencing hearing. That same day, a judge will sentence Zach Rehl, who the Justice Department wants to serve 30 years in prison.
Dominic Pezzola — the only Proud Boy convicted in the case who was not found guilty of the rare seditious conspiracy charge — will be sentenced Friday. Prosecutors are seeking 20 years in prison.
Perhaps convincing these clowns and their wannabe look-alikes that actual insurrection against an actual siting government is rather a bigger deal than mere loud talk at the bar while pretending to be a war hero will encourager les autres to be a bit less outré next time.
