Dogecoin Foundation registers name and logos as trademarked within in the EU By Cointelegraph

The Foundation announced on Twitter (NYSE:) on Wednesday that it had registered “Doge,” “Dogecoin” and its associated logos as trademarks in the European Union. The certificate displayed in the tweet was dated Jan. 13, 2022.

Foundation executive board member Jens Wiechers said in the tweet thread, “The issue isn’t (and has never been) use in memes, etc, but attempts by people completely unaffiliated with Dogecoin to register them, which only really makes sense if they want to then extort either the community or the Dogecoin project, devs, foundation, etc. directly.”
