Trademarks don’t matter when it’s only for internal use.

Who tells them that “Visio” is already a trademark?

By Microsoft, no less.

I’m 100% in favor of this. Erode that trademark!

Probably not an enforceable trademark in France.

It is, and I genuinely worry that Microsoft will bitch about it.

It’s literally a generic word for video call.
They might have registered it but in the EU it’s not enforceable in the context of video calls.
If Microsoft tries to defend it in that context they could lose it in all contexts.

Do you know what happens to trademarks and patents when a country starts threatening its (previous) allies with military invasion and tradewars, and start undermining the values of those allies? You’re right! It goes into the square hole! Heck, maybe I’m going to start a new software company tomorrow called Microsoft, and then threaten left and right with all crazy shit if anybody complains. Nobody will care about US trademarks since US disqualified itself by now.
