TWEET and the Bird Logo Apparently Enter the Public Domain

A Delaware federal court ruling in X Corp. v. Project Bluebird Inc. found X Corp. likely abandoned the TWEET trademark and Bird logo, but not the TWITTER mark. The court relied on the absence of TWEET and the Bird logo from X's Apple App Store listing and x.com's home page, which X conceded at an April hearing. It treated the listing's "X (formerly known as Twitter)" wording as ongoing TWITTER use, citing Musk's public statements and rebranding as evidence that X does not intend to resume use of the other marks. The ruling, on a preliminary injunction request, is not a final decision on the merits.
