"Virginia startup calling itself "Operation Bluebird" announced earlier this week that it has filed a formal petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office to cancel X Corporation's trademarks of the words "Twitter" and "tweet," due to X essentially no longer using them, and abandoning the previous Twitter brand. After 12 months of quiet work at Operation Bluebird, we're stepping out of stealth mode to share something bold: we've filed a petition to cancel the TWITTER trademark and new applications for TWITTER and TWEET."
"This isn't about nostalgia. It's about repairing what broke - because the public square is worth fighting for."
Operation Bluebird filed a formal petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office seeking cancellation of X Corporation's trademarks for the words 'Twitter' and 'tweet'. The petition rests on the contention that X has essentially ceased using those terms and has abandoned the previous Twitter brand. Operation Bluebird emerged from twelve months of stealth work to file the cancellation petition and new trademark applications for TWITTER and TWEET. The effort frames the action as aimed at repairing a broken public square rather than invoking nostalgia, and positions the public conversation platform as worth defending.
