On Digg there’s some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”
One day later I see this discussion about how Reddit registered trademarks for some high-profile subreddits.
This could be relevant for the Threadiverse.
The trademark belonged to reddit not the person digg gave the community to. Reddit here is not involved but could sue digg foe using the trademark
I don’t think you can get sued for using a trademark as long as your use doesn’t confuse people into thinking you are the original.
Anybody can sue anyone for any reason. Doesn’t mean they’ll win. It depends on who is willing to spend the most money.
Isn’t that ironic (don’t you think)? To be saying that about Digg that came prior to Reddit! (Although I don’t know about wallstreetbets in particular)
