Operation Bluebird wants to reclaim Twitter’s ‘abandoned’ trademarks for a new social network

Operation Bluebird, a startup led by trademark attorneys, has filed a petition with the USPTO to cancel X Corp.'s ownership of the 'Twitter' and 'Tweet' trademarks, claiming they have been abandoned. The startup plans to use the trademarks for a new social media platform called Twitter.new, which aims to provide a safer experience with new tools for content engagement. The petition alleges that X Corp. has committed fraud by filing false statements with the USPTO. Legal experts are divided on the likelihood of success for Operation Bluebird's claims.
