Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link)

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.

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)

That’s not ironic, people didn’t confuse Reddit for Digg, it wasn’t a even Digg clone nor did it pretend to be one.

Anybody can sue anyone for any reason. Doesn’t mean they’ll win. It depends on who is willing to spend the most money.
