Court ruling splits Twitter brand: X keeps name, loses bird and 'tweet'

A US judge ruled that X Corp retains the 'Twitter' name but has abandoned the 'tweet' term and bird logo. The decision stems from Elon Musk's 2023 public statements about discarding the old brand. X won the name dispute by proving continued use in its App Store listing, while losing the other marks due to lack of active usage evidence. Operation Bluebird, the rival startup, can now use the discarded marks but must wait for a full trial to challenge the name.

Court Splits Ruling: X Keeps 'Twitter' Name, Loses 'Tweet' and Bird Logo

X accuses music publishers of collusion to squeeze licensing deals

Elon Musk’s X Corp filed a Sherman Act antitrust suit in the Northern District of Texas against the National Music Publishers Association and roughly 18 publishers, alleging a coordinated takedown-notice campaign to pressure X into industrywide music licenses at supracompetitive rates. The complaint cites hundreds of thousands of DMCA takedowns and tens of thousands of user suspensions as evidence of the scheme, while arguing it deprives X of competitive licensing. Publishers say licensing is standard industry practice and note similar deals with other platforms; X seeks an injunction, treble damages, and legal fees. The case follows ongoing copyright matters and earlier talks of settlements with rights-holders and other platforms.

Elon Musk's X Fights for Control of Infowars Social Accounts

Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is contesting the sale of Infowars' X accounts to The Onion, asserting that X owns all accounts on its platform. This legal move comes amid Infowars' bankruptcy proceedings, where its assets are being liquidated to pay damages to Sandy Hook victims' families. Musk's intervention raises questions about his motives, especially given his past actions to restore Infowars' accounts and his criticism of The Onion. The legal filing emphasizes that users only have a non-exclusive license to their accounts, not ownership.
