@ProofofUse Years/numbers consist of characters. I'm beginning to think that you don't understand trademark law or you just like arguing.

@justinamash If you agree "1989" can serve as a TM "for specific uses/contexts" then that's correct. Seems like you said something different -
@ballard_ip@justinamash Yes, he shifted his stance and altered his words when he realized he was losing the argument. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip Not correct. The question was: Should she be able to trademark her birth year? Without caveats, the answer is no. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip I stand by all tweets: 1. Number itself too generic. 2. "1989" logo okay. 3. "1989" for specific uses/contexts okay. -
@justinamash@ballard_ip Congressman, any time a tm is granted is for specific uses and contexts. No one asked for actual rights to a year. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip Exactly. And that's why I replied with "No." -
@justinamash@ballard_ip Very generic response to a question that you ultimately have no say in. -
@claypar111@ballard_ip Yeah, my one-word reply was mostly intended to be funny. Media thought it was serious and made a bigger deal of it.

@justinamash@ballard_ip The Dryvit company trademarked blue. The color. This is not unprecedented. Stop being ridiculous.#ShakeItOff -
@epicaricate@ballard_ip Company cannot unconditionally trademark the color blue. That would be ridiculous. Only for specific uses/contexts. -
@justinamash@ballard_ip you mean specific contexts such as using the number 1989 as a logo/brand? Glad we cleared that up. -
@epicaricate@ballard_ip Exactly. And that's why I replied with "No." -
@justinamash@ballard_ip what did you think it meant, 1,989 can't be used in math classes? 1989 removed from all calendars? Be smarter. -
@epicaricate@ballard_ip You're the person who made assumptions and didn't understand the context. -
@justinamash@ballard_ip I don't think you understand how what an assumption is.
