   Different design, mind you. Wonder what they had in mind for it?

     @thomasfuchs Yes, but it's not a standard character mark, so I think it is literally just a trademark for this specific visual depiction of X, not X itself. I could be wrong, but that's my thought.

     @thomasfuchs Here's one for just the letter X, unstylized. It's "X" for humidors. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=90169416&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch

     And the Meta "X" mark was listed as currently being in use. We'll see if anything comes of it.

     @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io @adhdmarie@mastodon.ie @iamdavidobrien@mastodon.social The particular graphic is trademarked. You can't trademark the word "X".

     @thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io @adhdmarie@mastodon.ie @iamdavidobrien@mastodon.social That's mostly about political game, and how much money a company can bring the government. For example, "Apple".
     Also, I don't think the "X" from Facebook is in active use, so it has a weaker claim being trademark.
     Anyway I don't think there will be a trademark problem.

     @thomasfuchs
     However, that trademark is specified as
     "The mark consists of a stylized letter "X". The left side of the "X" is white and the right side of the "X" is blue"
     and
     "The color(s) white and blue is/are claimed as a feature of the mark."
     On the other hand, Elongated Muskrat just picked the standard Unicode letter 1D54F, described as "Mathematical double-struck capital X"
     It'll be hard to argue that those are the same.
