I never claimed anything about the law just commented how uninteristing and dumb this whole thing is.
Comment on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago
GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 1 year agoWholly incorrect. I work in trademark law and yeah you have no idea what you’re talking about.

So… hypothetically, what if I’ve already used his comment as legal advice to launch my social network, “PepSi”?

I don’t agree with the one you’re replying to, but trademark is usually bound to a sector. I’m pretty sure Pepsi trademarked all sectors known to mankind, but many companies don’t do that. If I start a bakery called FooBarBaz I can trademark that just fine even if there’s a software company called FooBarBaz that trademarked the name only for software.

So you don’t foresee any issues with pursuing my dream of opening a chain of nail salons called “British Petroleum”?

Depends… Did BP trademark it every which way to Sunday (say for multiple industries/uses)?
