the amount of times I’ve read an internet article about this topic only to be met with a shockingly trivial mistake present front and center is staggering. the differences between patent, trademark, wordmark, etc. are all easily googleable and yet pretty much every article I’ve read on this has been using them interchangeably.
incoming rhetorical question: are these editors orangutans? (before anybody answers, i know editors & authors want to be the first one out the door so they get the most clicks and all that, but it’s really not hard to make sure you’re at least using the correct word. It seriously took me 20 seconds to find an answer on the difference between patent and trademark)
Of course they made the trivial mistake, because they also made a much, much bigger one. The X trademark as it pertains to social media is owned by Meta, who bought it from Microsoft when they acquired Mixer (which later became Facebook Gaming), including Mixer’s X logo.
Patent? lol

Thank you for announcing the rhetorical question. I don’t think I would have been prepared for that.
