Dogecoin Foundation took a bold step in registering ”Doge,” ”Dogecoin” and logos
the Dogecoin Foundation says there have been a growing number of bad faith attempts to register trademarks for “Doge”, “Dogecoin” and even the logos created for Dogecoin by Christine Ricks. He had no choice but to register them to protect “all the good Shibes in the Dogecoin community.”
The Dogecoin Foundation posted an image of its certificate of registration with the European Union’s intellectual property unit, to which ”it stated it’s a small victory that seems so very irrelevant given all that’s currently happening in the world, but it’s an important step.”
As U.Today previously reported, Ross Nicoll, former director of the Dogecoin Foundation in February, said the foundation operates in a difficult environment.
Nicoll, who remains a full-time software developer at Alphabet Inc, offered the following reasons for why he stepped down from his role at the Dogecoin Foundation: workload stress and the resolve to avoid a potential conflict of interest.
The lead developer of Dogecoin noted in a blog post that “The Dogecoin Foundation was operating in an extremely challenging environment where every step of the simple process is much more complex than it should be.”
He stated that in 2021, some parties registered trademarks for Dogecoin, fraudulently claiming to be ”dogecoin” or ”Dogecoin developers.” In the summer of 2021, there was a potential lawsuit against the real Dogecoin developers from someone who claimed they were responsible for their funds.
This could be inferred as one of the reasons why the Dogecoin Foundation took a bold step by registering ”Doge”, ”Dogecoin” and the logos created for Dogecoin by Christine Ricks.
