Judge Blocks X Rival From Using 'Twitter' Name, Allows 'Tweet' For Now

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a startup positioned as a rival to X from using the name "Twitter," according to a report by TechCrunch.

The judge's ruling, as described by TechCrunch, found that X was likely to have abandoned its trademark claims to the term "Tweet" as well as its bird logo, allowing the startup to continue using "Tweet" for the time being.

TechCrunch reported that the startup has since relaunched under the name Tweet.app.

Further details on the litigation, including the parties involved and the reasoning behind the judge's decision, were not fully specified in the available report.
