I tend to rely on the little blue tick.
The club should have it pulled as both a trade mark infringement and a copyright infringement. However, the club always seems clueless regarding such things.
Too much hassle. Like CCFC is copyright of Coventry City.Quote:

I don't think it's worth the effort, particularly for someone with only 13 followers. Loads of people use their club's logo as their profile picture.Quote:

CCFC is not so much copyright as a trade mark. And it's not about damages, it's about sending an email to Twitter, pointing them to one's TM documentation online and getting the thing pulled. Just the cost of a stamp on the email :-)Quote:

It's the sort of thing I got involved with myself over a period of years. Minimal effort involved. On the other hand, if a TM owner takes no action, such infringement may proliferate as word gets around that no action is ever taken. It doesn't tend to work the other way around.Quote:

eBay used to operate (and probably still does) what they call the Vero system, by which copyright owners only need to submit their evidence once and are kept on record so that, after the first infringement, the copyright owner can report stuff without much ado thereafter.
An article on the BBC website contains a couple of major errors, albeit lifted from reported speech:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/48552886
"Brady has now insisted he wants to patent the name not because he likes it and wants to emblazon it on T-shirts or mugs - but because he actively dislikes it."
Patents cover inventions and not slogans. It would be a Trade Marks registration.
"I don't like the nickname. I was trying to keep people from using it, because some people wanted to," he explained.
Trade Marks can be registered in advance of goods and services being marketed but they become invalid if not used.
