Story about Lamar Jackson's trademark claim to the number 8, in which I am quoted. Ironically, Jackson is the 8th most famous athlete to wear #8, after Aikman, according to Ranker.com espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/4059…

I was just about to post on this, but see my former student beat me to it!
In combination with its AI announcement yesterday, Apple has filed a new trademark for: APPLE INTELLIGENCE The interesting part? The trademark was first filed in Liechtenstein on March 29th. A thread 🧵 #Apple #wwdc24 #AppleIntelligence

2 points to add to Josh's excellent 🧵. 1) Liechtenstein does have an online searchable trademark registry: apps.llv.li/mronline/marke/s……. I can find loads of Apple's applications, but not APPLE INTELLIGENCE. Perhaps the site is slow to upload? Perhaps Apple knows this?

2) Usually "submarine trademarks" are filed 6 mos. before they come to light in the USPTO. APPLE INTELLIGENCE was filed 3 mos. ago. But it looks like Apple won't make a use this mark in commerce until Sept., 6 mos. after filing. Perhaps it decided to launch early. If so, why?
