Trump's Space Force Already Lost Its First Battle
"Although the United States operates on what's called a "first-to-use"
trademark registration system, where priority is based on actual use in
commerce rather than who gets to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
first, many other countries operate on a "first-to-file" basis. Records
show that Netflix was submitting applications for "Space Force" around
the world as early as January 2019. In other words, the Department of
Defense was caught sleeping."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
