美国专利商标局(USPTO)最近拒绝了与最受欢迎的模因加密货币相关的商标申请。
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.
驳回是根据《商标法》各节的规定,指出所申请的商标是“申请人服务的通用商标”。这可能会开创一个法律先例,使其他人很难为与狗狗币相关的任何东西注册商标。
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.
社区长期以来一直关注狗狗币的商标问题,这一决定被视为维护加密货币去中心化精神的积极成果。
The application in question aimed to register a design of a gold circular medallion featuring the popular Shiba Inu dog and the letter "D."
该申请旨在注册一个金色圆形奖章的设计,该奖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.
目的范围从区块链技术的教育会议到分布式计算平台领域的软件开发。然而,该申请被拒绝,不仅仅是因为“仅仅是描述性的”,还因为它被裁定为通用的。
Under US law, generic terms can't be trademarked even if they have acquired distinctiveness or secondary meaning.
根据美国法律,通用术语即使具有独特性或次要含义,也不能注册商标。
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."
狗狗币爱好者普遍称赞美国专利商标局的决定。 @RichDevX 对审查员的回应表示赞赏,而狗狗币社区的另一位知名成员 @mishaboar 则赞赏审查员“非常仔细并且了解狗狗币的历史”。
Despite the community’s optimistic outlook, it's important to note that the USPTO's decision is not yet final.
尽管业界对前景持乐观态度,但值得注意的是,美国专利商标局的决定尚未最终。
There is always the possibility of the examiner making an error in future assessments, which could risk undermining this recent win for Dogecoin.
审查员在未来的评估中总是有可能犯错误,这可能会破坏狗狗币最近的胜利。
The ruling is still subject to future assessments and legal challenges, making it crucial for the Dogecoin community to stay vigilant.
该裁决仍需接受未来的评估和法律挑战,因此狗狗币社区保持警惕至关重要。
