[tantek] Yeah I’m not really chatting about any Twitter account. Best you treat Twitter as defunct and not worry about anyone's accounts there
#
reissfrost We’re reaching out about a potential trademark infringement involving a Twitter account we believe you own
#
[tantek] Nah I doubt it. All my accounts are pretty generic names

reissfrost This one to specific
#
aaronpk lol that is not how trademark laws work
#
reissfrost We hold a trademark for Falcon and are interested in the @falcon handle. We noticed the account appears to be inactive. We wanted to know whether you be open to discussing a transfer.

aaronpk filed on july 31st?
#
[tantek] Nah there are lots of products and services called Falcon in various industries. Maybe check Wikipedia disambiguation page for examples and an actual IP lawyer about generic terms like that.
#
[tantek] I suggest picking an account name that includes your industry or what the product is about. Like if your product is gears (random example) then something like Falcongears
#
[artlung] Here's a gentle reminder to all here that this is a public channel, logged and archived into source control. And also, learn to take "no" for an answer.

[tantek] I'll also point out that for example http://instagram.com/falcon is NOT me, and these days instagram is a much more popular and influential social media platform overall
#
[tantek] Also in the theme of indieweb, consider pursuing your own domain name instead and post from there
