Bluesky Trademarks ATProto

4 hours ago

Bluesky acquired the trademark for 'ATPROTOCOL' and its variants to protect community usage.
The trademark is a defensive measure to prevent legal abuse and ensure free use for developers; no fees for most use cases.
Licenses are required for commercial branding, products, services, events, merchandise, or domain names using the mark.
Good faith use is encouraged, and the trademark will be transferred to an independent governance organization in the future.
The approach is inspired by other open-source projects like Wikimedia, Red Hat, and Mozilla to balance legal needs with decentralization.
