Trademarking Pi. What's worse, granting the trademark or that this asshat thinks he can own it?

I’m trademarking the symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Mathematicians, statisticians, accountants, number crunchers of any sort, math teachers, math textbook publishers, all will have to pay royalties to ME!!!

Say, I see these symbols in use on this web page! It’s MINE!!!

DC Comics beat you to it. :wink:

I am patenting the idea of patents AND trademarks.

And the letters ‘T’, ‘t’ and just for kicks, ‘Q’.

And the name “Gagundathar The Inexplicable!”

Including the trailing bang symbol.

:eek::eek: Dude! Dude. It’s way, WAAAAY better than that!

You know that guy who owns pi? HE OWES YOU INFINITE DOLLARS!!!

MIND BLOWN

I’m going to get the rights to the word “enter”. Anytime it’s used, any time someone presses a button labeled with “enter”, anytime someone goes through a doorway marked “enter”, someone will have to pay me.

Ha! HP anticipated your move and labeled this one “Enter.”

Ha!

Ha!

Defeated by a capital!

I’m patenting the space - in all fonts and languages.

They do (assuming it’s the one in St. Louis). It’s delicious, btw.

I’m going to trademark the trademark symbol. BWHAHEAHAHAHA, yeah bitches!

Reported for trademark infringement.

Relevant SMBC comic.

You can have that ‘Q’, but I’m taking ‘u’, and that’s going to fuck with your qi, you qat-chewing faqir.

Lucky for you Microsoft’s patents of 0 and 1 seem to have expired.

Too bad for Paul Ingrisano, I have a college notebook from 10 years ago that clearly shows that I correctly calculated Pi to 12 pages. I have first rights to those 12 pages, so he only get the numbers after that. HAHA!!! He’s are going to owe me every time he tries to get his numbers right!!!

Way too late on two of those!

Microsoft is gonna sue your butt!

Now that’s funny!

The actual trademark award (published here by CNET who claims this is the one is question) seems to be ok. I am not sure if the bile is warranted.

I’ve trademarked all expressions, objects, and/or entities that match, or can be described or represented in a way that matches, the regular expression .*

That’s Hot.

It may be legit, but it seems irrational to me.

:dubious:
