RE: Hive vs. HIVE Blockchain Technologies: any updates anyone?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I was wondering the same thing. Once the HIVE market cap reaches a substantial amount, expect the lawyers to come out. It seems like an easy case for them , type hive blockchain and they pop up first. But, I believe they can easily be paid off, who will pay Idk. But they need to take this seriously. And I believe they are.

Well, easy case... I think this is something only lawyers can assess. To me, "hive" is way too general and common word for anyone to be able to usurp it as trademark but again, I am really an absolute layman and my opinion has no value :D Hopelly, someone more familiar with this environment will share their thoughts too. Thanks for yours anyway!
Yeah mine has no value either 😄 but the way I see it , two blockchains using the name hive , one registered , the other I’m not sure. But I think things will be fine. May have to stop using the word blockchain which may not be a bad thing. I’m gonna ask my friend who is a cyber security lawyer. But I really think things will be fine, but better to be cautious.
So just talked to my friend who is a cyber security lawyer and interestingly he was an intellectual property lawyer before.
If Hive ( the Canadian ) registered with WIPO, World Intellectual Property Office and Hive ( fork ) is second, then he suggest not to argue but change the name. Or not to operate in Canada and quickly register somewhere else. Doubt they’d want to do that. Hopefully their is an IP lawyer who can dig into the situation.
Also for our HIVE it’s in our best interest that another blockchain that may be inferior to ours isn’t confused with hive blog.
Now this is interesting, thank you so much, finally we have some relevant opinion here :) Yeah, hopefully, there are some lawyers here who could look into it and make sure we will not underestimate anything.
