Okay some former FTX asshats are starting a new self custody exchange product in Dubai. They’re calling it Backpack. I have the trademark for Backpack Wallet We’re still small, objectively there is very little friction to change names vs later on. I’m torn between 😡 and 🤷🏼 Thoughts, advice?

if you have the trademark, sending a notice is part of the deal.

You have a valuable asset here The smart thing to do is not do anything foolish or rash What you want most actually is for them to infringe on your trademark Sit back and wait

One way of looking at that is from the perspective of what helps you serve the customer well, and to continue serving as you scale. Does changing the name impede either? Does fighting them on a trademark help? If it does, do the resources you spend on it detract from product? It sucks and I’m sorry to hear that!

I wonder if the same asshats behind this state side reincarnation? In any case, there’s no question as to who’s building something worthy of the name. Best case scenario they’ll be a blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things https://warpcast.com/adam-/0xfdce2a64

Not enforcing your trademark rights might weaken your position in the long run.

I’d recommend starting at e-commerce company for outdoor apparel. Start with “asshats”. Goggle search doesn’t bring up anything comparable…

they’re also a wallet on solana. been out for awhile - have a popular nft (madlads). might try and get in touch with them and see. legal battles suck and are expensive in money, time and emotion. source: my startup had a couple including a tm one. :/

Do you own any of the backpack domains? Maybe you could spin to a new brand and sell your backpack domains for a ludicrous amount to bolster your transition to the new brand. If they’re in Dubai, they likely have deep pockets!
