美國專利商標局(USPTO)最近拒絕了與最受歡迎的迷因加密貨幣相關的商標申請。
The refusal comes under Trademark Act Sections, stating that the applied-for mark is "generic for the applicant's services." This could set a legal precedent, making it difficult for others to trademark anything related to Dogecoin.
駁回是根據《商標法》各節的規定,指出所申請的商標是「申請人服務的通用商標」。這可能會開創一個法律先例,使其他人難以為與狗狗幣相關的任何東西註冊商標。
The community has long been concerned about the trademarking of Dogecoin, and this decision is seen as a positive outcome that maintains the decentralized ethos of the cryptocurrency.
社區長期以來一直關注狗狗幣的商標問題,這項決定被視為維護加密貨幣去中心化精神的正面成果。
The application in question aimed to register a design of a gold circular medallion featuring the popular Shiba Inu dog and the letter "D."
該申請旨在註冊一個金色圓形獎章的設計,該獎章上有流行的柴犬和字母“D”。
The purpose ranged from educational conferences in blockchain technology to software development in the field of distributed computing platforms. However, the application was denied, not just for being "merely descriptive," but also because it was ruled as generic.
目的範圍從區塊鏈技術的教育會議到分散式運算平台領域的軟體開發。然而,該申請被拒絕,不僅是因為“僅僅是描述性的”,還因為它被裁定為通用的。
Under US law, generic terms can't be trademarked even if they have acquired distinctiveness or secondary meaning.
根據美國法律,通用術語即使具有獨特性或次要含義,也不能註冊商標。
Dogecoin enthusiasts have generally lauded the USPTO's decision. @RichDevX celebrated the examiner's response, while another prominent member of the Dogecoin community, @mishaboar, appreciated that the examiner "was quite careful and understood the history of Dogecoin."
狗狗幣愛好者普遍稱讚美國專利商標局的決定。 @RichDevX 對審查員的回應表示讚賞,而狗狗幣社區的另一位知名成員 @mishaboar 則讚賞審查員「非常仔細並且了解狗狗幣的歷史」。
Despite the community’s optimistic outlook, it's important to note that the USPTO's decision is not yet final.
儘管業界對前景持樂觀態度,但值得注意的是,美國專利商標局的決定尚未最終。
There is always the possibility of the examiner making an error in future assessments, which could risk undermining this recent win for Dogecoin.
審查員在未來的評估中總是有可能犯錯,這可能會破壞狗狗幣最近的勝利。
The ruling is still subject to future assessments and legal challenges, making it crucial for the Dogecoin community to stay vigilant.
該裁決仍需接受未來的評估和法律挑戰,因此狗狗幣社群保持警惕至關重要。
