Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to be
called X at the end of July 2023.
Now, a company called X Social Media LLC
is filing suit, The Verge reports.
According to the lawsuit filed on
Oct.
2, X Corp.
Has violated Florida
common law due to "unfair competition and
trademark and service mark infringement.".
X Social Media, which has continuously used its registered trademark since 2016.
Claims to have “already suffered loss in revenue that correlates with X Corp.’s
rebrand and use of the mark ‘X.’”.
However, law professor Alexandra Roberts says,
“In a crowded field with lots of ‘X’ trademarks,
it will be difficult to enforce against others.” .
The argument that will enable Twitter/Musk to get protection for the mark will be the same argument that impedes aggressive enforcement, Alexandra Roberts, a professor of law and media
at Northeastern University, via The Verge.
There are thousands of single-letter trademark registrations; many, but not all, of them are more elaborately stylized than the one that now appears on the site formerly known as Twitter.

Given the large user base on Twitter and
the number of people following and reporting on this rebrand, I expect it wouldn’t take very long to establish that the new ‘X’ functions
as a trademark and consumers associate
it with Twitter’s services or brand, Alexandra Roberts, a professor of law and media
at Northeastern University, via The Verge

During an Emmys FYC panel in Los Angeles, co-director and EP Emma Schwartz said, "One thing that we've had conversations about as a result of this is that, if you look at where children's entertainment, so to speak, is today, it's not just in studios or in networks, it's on social media."

claimed he was taking Tesla private, which shocked the
market and caused shares in the company to surge.
The SEC deemed the tweets
"materially false and misleading,"
and in clear violation of securities laws.

with the SEC, which included his signing off
on the so-called "Twitter sitter" provision.
NBC reports that Musk has since said
the restrictions are unconstitutional and that
he was coerced into signing the SEC agreement.

representing Musk have accused the SEC
of waging an "ongoing campaign" against Musk.

when truthful and accurate.".
It extends to speech not
covered by the securities laws

underlying the SEC’s civil action, Elon Musk legal team, via NBC.
In response, the SEC said in court papers
that Musk waived his right to appeal
when he signed off on the settlement.
