Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials
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.
The software is called Meet. Visio is just the name of the name of the government platform Meet is running on which is internal use only.
