any cc0 lawyers able to answer a quick question? maybe overthinking, but I would hate for someone to steal a higher "trademark" and sue everyone in the community or something is there a way to take Higher as a brand and make it cc0 indefinitely?

Designating as cc0 somewhere onchain is surely the best way to immediately define that (like nouns). Not sure how that works if it’s released after a ton of content is dropped from different folks tho 🤔

my understanding: cc0 (copyright license) and trademark do not affect each other in the ways you might expect –making brand elements cc0 will not cover or compete directly against a trademark– so i think the concern is fair. An experienced IP lawyer that covers both fields is probably required to layout options.

cc0 doesn't extend beyond the first generation of the IP. It basically just makes it not IP.. But you can still defensible IP on top of cc0 but harder..

* NOT LEGAL ADVICE. CC0s applies to Copyright - not Trademarks. Copyright is granted at the moment of creation of an "original" work. So as long as "Higher" is a "work" and "original", it meets the requirement for Copyright. If $Higher is the name for a token, I do not think $higher on its own would be copyrightable.
