特拉华州法院在X公司诉Project Bluebird案中做出裁决,涉及多个与Twitter相关的商标和视觉标识的权属问题1。法院认定X公司保留了TWITTER商标的权利,因为该公司在苹果应用商店中使用了"Welcome to X (formerly known as Twitter)"的表述,这构成对该商标的持续使用1。
然而,法院同时认定TWEET商标和鸟形标志可能已被放弃,进入公共领域1。这一判决的依据是,这两个标志已完全从X应用的应用商店列表以及x.com主页上消失1。结合品牌更名声明,法院推断X公司无意恢复使用这两个标志1。X公司最终也承认了TWEET商标和鸟形标志在x.com主页上已完全消失的事实1。此前,Project Bluebird在2025年提交了TWITTER和TWEET的国际商标申请1。
A Delaware federal court has ruled in X Corp. v. Project Bluebird Inc. that while X retained its TWITTER trademark, the TWEET trademark and bird logo may have been abandoned and entered the public domain 1. The court determined that X's use of the phrase "Welcome to X (formerly known as Twitter)" on the Apple App Store constituted continued use of the TWITTER trademark, thereby preserving X's rights to that mark 1.
However, the court found that both the TWEET trademark and the bird logo had likely been abandoned 1. The basis for this conclusion was that neither element appeared on the X application's App Store listing or on the x.com homepage 1. X ultimately acknowledged that the TWEET trademark and bird logo had completely disappeared from the x.com homepage 1. This disappearance, combined with the company's public rebranding efforts, indicated that X had no intention of resuming use of these two marks 1.
Project Bluebird filed international trademark applications for TWITTER and TWEET in 2025 1. The ruling, issued on September 3, 2026, underscores the significance of maintaining visible trademark use to prevent abandonment claims 1.
