✦AI Summary
Bluesky has acquired the trademark for 'AT Protocol' to protect the open-source community from potential legal abuse. The company intends to keep the protocol freely available for developers while reserving licensing for commercial entities that use the mark for branding.
Bluesky recently acquired the rights to the trademark for “ATPROTOCOL” and its variants—including “AT Protocol” and “atproto”—from another company that was threatening to take legal action preventing the company and others from using the term. Now that Bluesky owns it, the atproto community’s continued use of the mark can be protected.
