Disney does not allow TRON to be registered in the U.S.

The USPTO has rejected three trademark applications related to the TRON cryptocurrency platform.Causethere was a protest from Disney Corporation, which pointed to a possible confusion with the brands.

China's Raybo Technology, a partner of the Tron Foundation, filed trademark applications for "TRON", "TRONNETWORK" and "TRONIX" back in February 2018.In August, Disney filed a complaint with the USPTO, an argument in which the Chinese firm never challenged.In this regard, the department took the side of the entertainment industry giant.

Disney added that the Tron Foundation uses the TRON brand with capital letters, which closely resembles the Disney movie franchise brand. Such behavior in the corporation is considered unscrupulous.

Raybo Technology owns the trademarks "Tron", "TRX" and "Tronix" in China.

They didn't even hire legal counsel in the U.S., even though the USPTO required them to do so.They did not respond to notifications from the department and simply abandoned the application.""In the future, we will be able to meet the needs of our clients," said Jake Czerwinski, Senior Legal Counsel at Compound.

He also suggested that Disney could sue Tron representatives for copying an existing brand.

TRON founder Justin Sun says everyoneDisney conflict of interest reports are FUD. He emphasized that the type of product or service is indicated in the application for registering a trademark in the United States. Sun added that many applications filed by TRON representatives in the United States have not been criticized by Disney.

A Decrypt reporter retorted that San had immediately shifted the focus of the conversation to other applications and had not commented on substantive documents confirming a conflict of interest with Disney.

In continuation of the thread, the founder of TRON didarguments and said that applications affecting the interests of Disney were submitted for protection purposes and did not affect the main brands assigned to the cryptocurrency platform in any way.

"Tron will continue to use its recognizable name and brand""In the future, we will be able to meet the needs of our clients," Sun summed up.

Recall that the founder of TRON is known for controversial marketing tricks, such as "announcement announcements".

In one of his last statements, he expressed his desire to donate $1 million to environmental activist Greta Thunberg.Prior to that, he volunteered to help Twitter's Jack Dorsey create a decentralized standard for social media, and before that, he offered money to Changpeng "CZ" Zhao for an anti-FUD fund.

Justin Sun's promises tend not to come true, as he clearly demonstrated in the summer - during the preparation for the meeting with Warren Buffett, for which he paid a record $4.5 million.
