This isn’t my area of expertise, but I believe you trademark something by simply using it with disclaimer language/the ™ symbol to warn others to stay away, that it’s yours. The ® symbol is used if you’ve taken the step of officially registering it and it’s been reviewed/approved by the government, like with AMA, so it’s considered stronger.
And unlike patents/copyright, trademarks last forever as long as you keep using them.
Probably AMA, it’s not like there’s anything related to Reddit in the name
And yet, Reddit trademarked the term.
That’s BS! We had AMAs on AOL!
Is there any way to invalidate their trademark if there’s proof that the term was used on AOL? Would be a fun way to fuck with them.
This is the kind of stuff I would use my money for if I was filthy rich.
AMA : Ask Moi Anything!
No way! Then probably something like Ask Me Something?
